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.
