Social Distortion - I Was Wrong

capo on 1

D – A – Em – G

over and over and over again .
i palm mute verses and strum chorus in time . gives the original feel of the song
even when played on the acoustic

lyrics :

D A
when i was young , i was so full of fear
Em G
i hid behind anger , held back the tears
D A
it was me against the world , i was sure that i’d win
Em G
the world fought back , punished me for my sins

i felt so alone , so insecure
i blamed you instead and made sure i was heard
and they tried to warn me of my evil ways
but i couldn’t hear what they had to say

D A
i was wroooong
Em G
self destruction’s got me again
D A
i was wrooooong
Em G
i realized now that i was wrong

and i think about my loves , well i’ve had a few
i’m sorry that i hurt them , did i hurt you too
i took what i wanted , put my heart on the shelf
now how can you love me when you don’t love yourself

it was me against the world , i was sure that i’d win
the world fought back , punished me for my sins
and they tried to warn me of my evil ways
but i couldn’t hear what they had to say

i was wrong
self destruction’s got me again
i was wrong
i realized now that i was wrong

i was wrong , yeah
i was wrong

i grew up fast , i grew up hard
something was wrong from the very start
i was fighting everybody , i was fighting everything
but the only one that i hurt was me

i got society’s blood running down my face
somebody help me get outta this place
how could someone’s bad luck last so long
until i realized that i was wrong

i was wrong
self destruction’s got me again
i was wrong
i realized now that i was wrong

i was wrong
self destruction’s got me again
i was wrong
the only one that i hurt was me

i was wrong
