Oh, when I was young
I was so full of fear
I hid behind anger, held back the tears
It was me against the world
I was sure that I'd win
But the world fought back, punished me for my sins
I felt so alone
So insecure
I blamed you instead, made sure I was heard
And they tried to warn me
Of my evil ways
But I wouldn't hear what they had to say
I was wrong
Self destruction's got me again
I was wrong
I realize now that I was wrong

version 5
CAPO on 1
D - A - Em - G
Over and Over and Over again.
I palm mute verses and strum chorus in time. Gives the original feel of the song
even when played on the acoustic
Lyrics:
D A
When I was young, I was so full of fear
Em G
I hid behind anger, held back the tears
D A
It was me against the world, I was sure that I'd win
Em G
The world fought back, punished me for my sins
I felt so alone, so insecure
I blamed you instead and made sure I was heard
And they tried to warn me of my evil ways
But I couldn't hear what they had to say
D A
I was wroooong
Em G
Self destruction's got me again
D A
I was wrooooong
Em G
I realized now that I was wrong
And I think about my loves, well I've had a few
I'm sorry that I hurt them, did I hurt you too
I took what I wanted, put my heart on the shelf
Now how can you love me when you don't love yourself
It was me against the world, I was sure that I'd win
The world fought back, punished me for my sins
And they tried to warn me of my evil ways
But I couldn't hear what they had to say
I was wrong
Self destruction's got me again
I was wrong
I realized now that I was wrong
I was wrong, yeah
I was wrong
I grew up fast, I grew up hard
Something was wrong from the very start
I was fighting everybody, I was fighting everything
But the only one that I hurt was me
I got society's blood running down my face
Somebody help me get outta this place
How could someone's bad luck last so long
Until I realized that I was wrong
I was wrong
Self destruction's got me again
I was wrong
I realized now that I was wrong
I was wrong
Self destruction's got me again
I was wrong
The only one that I hurt was me
I was wrong

Chords are: Eb Bb F Ab
The bass tab is as follows......I fancied it up a bit for my band, The
Cogsmen, but if
you want it plain and simple like the album version just leave out the
descending leading notes and the little D string fill that I pompously have
added.
