verse 1 
				D 
I live my life with no regrets 

I numb the pain with whiskey and cigarettes 
						B 
I've made mistakes but the devil won't drag me down -- oh no 



E         D         C        B 
I live my life with fear and shame 
E          D             C               B 
I drown my face with the tears that fall down like rain 
E         D                C           B 
I've made mistakes but the devil won't drag me down - oh no

I'll right my wrongs and I'll pay my dues 
C                 D                        B 
You can't have my soul, it don't belong to you -- yeah 

E 
We are the sinners, we are the saints 
D 
We are the broken down, enduring all the pain

So keep on screaming, won't hear a sound 
B 
Your sticks and stones won't bring me down
