Bm                    E D E
When it come to pride

And other sinful matters
Bm                     E D E
You're gonna be mislead
Bm                   E D E
Left there in tatters

Bm             D
I got to go because
Bm                   A
Something on my mind
Bm                      D
And it won't get better
Bm
No matter how hard I try

Chorus:
Bm   E D
Whoa
Bm   E D
Yeah
Bm              E  D
You just got to be
Bm                 E D
The best thing for me

Evil hides
In dark places
But now I find it
In familiar faces

I got to go because
Something on my mind
And it won't get better
No matter how hard I try

Chorus
