Verse 1: Tim
  AI fell down again
    A/C#But I can't complain
 DAnother false step
Could drive me insane

     DSo I shake off defeat 
and I start again
A                A/C#  Oh no I said I want to go 
           Dback But I can't rendition
And I gotta stay on track
A           A/C#Yeah make a tear like 
       Dthat I keep my head up
But I never react
