Verse 1

A

I've seen it goin' 'round when you get bad news

Thinkin' that you found a darker shade of blue

G D

Lookin' for the light and it's a long way back

C A

You know without a fight you're gonna fade to black

A

Never was a man that ever felt this way

one who couldn't stand to live another day

G D

hard times seem to have the corner on you

C A

but you can rise from the ashes too

Chorus

D C G A

When I'm on my knees and everything has gotten me beat

D C G A

and even I believe I'm never gonna find my feet

D A

Two ways you can go you can ask anybody around

G E A

one mans half way up is another mans half way down

Verse 2

A

Now you may decide it's a losin' game

even in your stride you're gonna call it lame

G D

Gettin' one leg up when it's said and done

C A

is the hardest part no matter how you run

A

If you can walk away from a crash and burn

you'll appreciate every step you earn

G D

and if you feel the ground is gainin' on you

C A

you're already bound to take a different view

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

D A

One mans ceiling is another mans floor

D A

One mans wall could be another mans door

C D

One mans smile is another mans frown

F E A

and there are miles of half way up and half way down
