Lyrics

What have I done,

I wish I could run

a way from this ship go ing un der.

Just try ing to help

hurt ev ’ry one else,

now I feel the weight of the world is

(G)on

(A)my

(G)shoul

ders.

(D)What can you do when your good is n’t good e nough and (Bm7)all that you touch tum bles (G)down?

’Cause (D)my best in ten tions keep mak ing a mess of things, I (Bm7)just want to fix it some (G)how.

But (Bm)how man y times will it take?

Oh, (Bm)how man y times will it take for me

to get it right?

To get it right?

Can start a gain

with my fate strick en,

’cause I can’t go back and un do this.

I just have to stay

and face my mis takes.

But if I get strong er and wis er,

(G)I’ll

(A)get

(G)through

this.

(D)What can you do when your good is n’t good e nough and (Bm7)all that you touch tum bles (G)down?

’Cause (D)my best in ten tions keep mak ing a mess of things, I (Bm7)just want to fix it some (G)how.

But (Bm)how man y times will it take?

Oh, (Bm)how man y times will it take for me

to get it right?

To get it right?

So I throw up my fist,

throw a punch in the air,

and ac cept the truth, but some times life is n’t (F#m)fair.

I’ll send out a wish,

I’ll send up a prayer,

then fi nal ly some one will see how much I care.

(D)What can you do when your good is n’t good e nough?

(Bm7)All that you touch tum bles (G)down.

Oh, (D)my best in ten tions keep mak ing a mess of things, (Bm7)just want to fix it some (G)how.

But (Bm)how man y times will it take?

Oh,

(Bm)how man y times will it take

to get it right,

to get it right?
