[Verse 1] (picked)

                    Em     C          G
I thought I saw the devil, this morning
Em  C   G
Looking in the mirror, drop of rum on my tongue
Em  C        G                  Em  C      G
    With the warning to help me see myself clearer
Am                       G
I never meant to start a fire,
Em               D           C ~
I never meant to make you bleed,
I'll be a better man today


[Chorus 1] (strummed)

Em      C             G
I'll be good, I'll be good
         Em       C             G
And I'll love the world, like I should
      Em      C             G
Yeah, I'll be good, I'll be good
               Am                     Em C G
For all of the times that I never could.


[Verse 2] (picked)
                   Em     C         G
My past has tasted bitter for years now,
Em         C       G
So I wield an iron fist
                    Em C G
Grace is just weakness
      Em    C    G
Or so I've been told.
          Em         C            G
I've been cold, I've been merciless
        Am                             G
But the blood on my hands scares me to death
Em        D            C ~
Maybe I'm waking up today


[Chorus 2] (strummed)

Em      C             G
I'll be good, I'll be good
         Em       C             G
And I'll love the world, like I should
      Em      C             G
Yeah, I'll be good, I'll be good


[Bridge] (strummed)

               Am                    G
For all of the light that I shut out
               Am                            G
For all of the innocent things that I've doubt
           D   Am                                   G
For all of the bruises that I've caused and the tears
        G       C                         D     Am    G  C
For all of the things that I've done all these years
               D      Am                         
Yeah, for all of the sparks that I've stomped out
           G               c
For all of the perfect things that I doubt


[Chorus 3] (strummed)

Em      C             G
I'll be good, I'll be good
         Em       C             G
And I'll love the world, like I should
      Em      C             G
Yeah, I'll be good, I'll be good
               Am                     Em C G
For all of the times that I never could.
