(Em)Go a head, throw your (Dsus)rocks at me from your (G)lit tle glass house, and then (C)take off run ning.

You’re no bet ter than me.

I won’t un do (D)what I’m do ing to (G)sit in judge ment of what (C)makes us

I don’t claim to be proud, but

my (G)head won’t be hung in (C)shame.

I did n’t (D)plan it,

but the (G)light turned (C)red and I ran it.

And (G)I’m (C)still (Dsus)stand ing.

It’s (Em)not what I want ed, but (G)now that it’s right (A7)here,

I un der (C)stand it.

A (Em)sto ry writ ten by my own (C)hand, it’s

(Em)life bit ing (G)right at your (A7)heels.

I did n’t plan it, but it’s (D)fi nal ly some thing

to feel,

oh.

(Em)Look a round you, ain’t no (Dsus)saints here, ba by.

We’re (G)all just look ing for a (C)lit tle less cra zy.

And some times it’s a (Dsus)hard left turn down a (G)road you’d nev er thought you’d (C)see.

I did n’t plan it.
