[ intro ] ( x2 )
A , Cadd9 , Em7 , A , G

[ verse 1 ]
A Cadd9
i’d be kidding myself ,
Em7 A
to think that i’d be any use to you at all ,
G Em7 A7
tell me something i don’t know ,
A Cadd9
just another notch in your belt ,
Em7 A
is all that i would end up being , so ,
G Em7 A7
tell me something i don’t know .

[ pre – chorus ]
D Em7 Cadd9
any lesson you’ve learned ,
A D
is gone in the moment ,
you know you probably get burned ,
B7
but here you go like you own it .

[ chorus ]
G Cadd9
and you give it all that you’re worth ,
A7 D
make it loud in hopes that you’re heard ,
G Cadd9 A7
with your deepest cuts just strewn and spilling out .

[ verse 2 ]
with a little finesse ,
i might have wound up somewhere better than the floor ,
tell me something i don’t know ,
i’m a bit of a mess ,
but tucked – in , brushed – off , i look somewhat like before ,
tell me something i don’t know .

[ pre – chorus ]
any lesson you’ve learned ,
is gone again with the moment ,
you call her name as she turns ,
you know you’ve already blown it .

[ chorus ]
still you give it all that you’re worth ,
say it loud in hopes that you’re heard ,
with your deepest cuts just strewn and spilling out .

[ bridge ]
G Cadd9
and you know that you’ll never win ,
A Cadd9
so you take your lumps on the chin ,
G Cadd9 A
and you’re still smiling as you’re blacking out ,
woo – hoo woah – oh .

[ instrumental ] ( x4 )
G , Cadd9 , Em7 , Cadd9

[ chorus ]
and you give it all that you’re worth ,
make it loud in hopes that you’re heard ,
with your deepest cuts just strewn and spilling out .

[ outro ]
cause you know that you’ll never win ,
so you drop your hands and you grin ,
and you’re still smiling as you’re blacking out .
woo – hoo woah – oh ( x8 )
