Intro: Em C G (2x) 

verse 1: (picked) 
                    Em     C          G 
I thought I saw the devil, this morning 
Em  C   G 
Looking in the mirror, drop of rum on my tongue 
Em  C        G                  Em  C      G 
    With the warning to help me see myself clearer 
Am                       G 
I never meant to start a fire, 
Am               G           Em ~ 
I never meant to make you bleed, 
I'll be a better man today 

Chorus 1: (strummed) 
Em      C             G 
I'll be good, I'll be good 
         Em       C             G 
And I'll love the world, like I should 
      Em      C             G 
Yeah, I'll be good, I'll be good 
               Am                     Em C G 
For all of the times that I never could. 

verse 2: (picked) 
                   Em     C         G 
My past has tasted bitter for years now, 
Em         C       G 
So I wield an iron fist 
                    Em C G 
Grace is just weakness 
      Em    C    G 
Or so I've been told. 
          Em         C            G 
I've been cold, I've been merciless 
        Am                             G 
But the blood on my hands scares me to death 
Am        G            Em ~ 
Maybe I'm waking up today 

Chorus 2: (strummed) 
Em      C             G 
I'll be good, I'll be good 
         Em       C             G 
And I'll love the world, like I should 
      Em      C             G 
Yeah, I'll be good, I'll be good 

Bridge: (strummed) 
               Am                    G 
For all of the light that I shut out 
               Am                            G 
For all of the innocent things that I've doubt 
           D   Am                                   G 
For all of the bruises that I've caused and the tears 
               C      D         Am                 G 
For all of the things that I've done all these years 
              C  D   Am                         G 
Yeah, for all of the sparks that I've stomped out 
           C   D       Am                G ~ 
For all of the perfect things that I doubt 

Chorus 3: (strummed) 
Em      C             G 
I'll be good, I'll be good 
         Em       C             G 
And I'll love the world, like I should 
      Em      C             G 
Yeah, I'll be good, I'll be good 
               Am                     Em C G 
For all of the times that I never could.
