Verse 1: (soft, electric guitars/drums only, bass in on 1st A)

It's a big bad world, were doing what we can
Sometimes we fall on our face, before we even learn to stand
But we get back up, shake off all the dust
And take it step by step

From each others mistakes
 
Chorus 1: (loud)

The way it's always been
 
Verse 2:

So you say goodbye, kiss ‘em one more time
And cry the whole way home

| A | E B | x3
I can fill up the driest river
With all the tears falling off of my face

From each others mistakes
