Lyrics

He broke

a heart,

and now it’s rain ing

just to rub it in.

I’m at

your door;

I feel so cra zy ’bout (Dmaj7)it.

You say, “I told you so,” you saw it long a go, you knew he had to go.

I fin ’lly came a round; I’m back on sol id ground, can’t let it get me down.

(It’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right.)

(It’s al right, it’s al right, it’s al right.)

(D)Yes, I was (A)burned, but I (E)called it a (A)les son (Dmaj7)learned.

Mis (D)take o ver (A)turned, so I (E)called it a (A)les son (Dmaj7)learned.

My (D)soul is re (A)turned, so I (E)called it a (A)les son (Dmaj7)learned,

an oth er (E7sus)les son (Bm11)learned.

Some times

some lies

can take a min ute to ful ly re al ize.

His tears,

your eyes,

thir ty sec onds

to a pol o gize.

You give him one more chance, just like the time be fore, but he al read y knows you’d give a hun dred more.

Un til that night in bed, you wake up in a sweat.

You’re rac ing to the door, can’t take it an y more.

I was (A)burned, but I (E)called it a (A)les son (Dmaj7)learned.

Mis (D)take o ver (A)turned, so I (E)called it a (A)les son (Dmaj7)learned.

My (D)soul has re (A)turned, so I (E)call it a (A)les son (Dmaj7)learned,

an oth er (E7sus)les son (learned).

Life per fect ain’t per fect if you don’t (F#m7)know what the strug gle’s for.

Fall ing down ain’t fall ing down if you don’t (F#m7)cry when you hit the floor.

It’s called the past ’cause I’m get tin’ past and I ain’t (F#m7)noth in’ like I was be fore.

You ought ta (Dmaj7)see me now.

(D)Yes I was (A)burned, but I (E)called it a (A)les son (Dmaj7)learned.

Mis (D)take o ver (A)turned, so I (E)called it a (A)les son (Dmaj7)learned.

My (D)soul was re (A)turned so I (E)called it a (A)les son learned,

an oth er (E7sus)les son (Bm11)learned.

Sing in’, (D)yes, I was (A)burned, but I (E)called it

a les son learned.

Said mis (D)take’s o ver (A)turned, so I (E)called it a (A)les son learned.

My (D)soul has re (A)turned, so I (E)called it

les son learned, oh, les son learned.

(It’s (A)al right, it’s a (A)les son (Dmaj7)learned.)

(It’s (A)al right, it’s (A)al (Dmaj7)right, it’s al right.

It’s all, it’s (A)al right, it’s a (A)les son (Dmaj7)learned.)

(It’s (A)al right, it’s (A)al (Dmaj7)right, it’s al right.

It’s all, it’s (A)al right, it’s a (A)les son (Dmaj7)learned.)

it’s a (A)les son (Dmaj7)learned.)
