VERSE
A
Figuring out where I went wrong
        F#m           Em7                       D
The script not followed, then was awfully long
A               Bm7           A/C#   F#m
Too much pluck, too little of
        D                                   A
The acting right, not acting up

Now I'm looking up more than I look down

The view's a whole lot better second time around
D
Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
   Bm                   A/C#     D                      E7
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground

Nowadays, I'm thinking 'bout
D                                    A
Time is wasted looking back

You drop a bucket in a well

It's dark and deep down there
Em                          D/F#
Crank the handle, bring it up

The water, crystal clear
