Verse
I've seen it goin' 'round when you get bad news
Thinkin' that you found a darker shade of blue Lookin' for the light and it's a long way back You know without a fight you're gonna fade to black Never was a man that ever felt this way
One who couldn't stand to live another day Hard times seem to have the corner on you But you can rise from the ashes too
Chorus
When I'm on my knees and everything has gotten me beat And even I believe I'm never gonna find my feet Two ways you can go you can ask anybody around One mans half way up is another mans half way down
Verse
Now you may decide it's a losin' game
Even in your stride you're gonna call it lame Gettin' one leg up when it's said and done Is the hardest part no matter how you run If you can walk away from a crash and burn
You'll appreciate every step you earn And if you feel the ground is gainin' on you You're already bound to take a different view
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
One mans ceiling is another mans floor One mans wall could be another mans door One mans smile is another mans frown And there are miles of half way up and half way down
Outro
| A A(5) B(5) C* B(5) A(5) G(6) A | (Repeat and fade)
