 Am
Mama can't you help me try to understand
 C
Innocence's the difference between a boy and a man
 G5
My daddy lived a lie it's just the price that he paid
 G5                       F5
Sacrificed his life just slaving away

[ CHOURUS ]
 Am                C                  G5
Oh, if there's one thing I'll hold on to, it gets me through the 
night

 Am               C                   G5
I ain't gonna live like I don't want to, I'm gonna live my life

 Am            C          F               G5
Shinin' like a diamond, rollin' with the dice

 Am            C          F               G5
Standin' on the edge and ?showin' the wind how to fly?

 Am                   C             G5                &
When the world gets in my face I'll say, Have A Nice Day, Have a 
Nice Day


[ VERSE 2 ] as verse 1

Take a look around you nothin's what it seems
We're living in a broken home of hopes and dreams
Let me be the first to shake the helping hand
Of anybody brave enough to take the stand
I've knocked on every door on every dead end street
Lookin' for forgiveness, what's left to believe
