Can't believe I'm the first one to upload tab for this- the song's great and it's
not that hard to play.
Intro
G C Em Am Em G
Verse
G C
We were born into nothing, hard up so to speak
Em Am
But love and affection this family afforded me
G C
Worries came early and often it seemed
Em Am
Fate was not pleasant still I was redeemed
G C
Then compassion soon faded to chaos
D G D
As they did their best all the while
Em C
When circumstance outweighs intention
D
Sometimes the mountain's just too hard to climb
Chorus
G C
They were cruel, they were ignorant
D G D
They were beauty, they were kind
Em C
They were patience, they were virtue
D
They were crazy, they were mine
Intro again
I was young and I thought I knew everything
It's so hard to change a fool's mind
When you're stubborn by nature and quick to the draw
And you're full of inherited pride
But some lessons come harder than others
And some senses are harder to find
Your troubles won't end when you're saved by the bell
You'll still answer to those you defied
They were cruel, they were ignorant
They were beauty, they were kind
They were patience, they were virtue
They were crazy, they were mine
C
The heavens might sing out your praises
G
But the heavens won't pay for your lies
C
The sinners might pray for your problems
D
But the sinners won't look in your eye
Just play the chorus
They were crazy, they were mine
They were cruel, they were ignorant
They were beauty, they were kind
They were patience, they were virtue
They were crazy, they were mine
G and C until the end
The heavens might sing out your praises
But the heavens won't pray for your lies
The sinners might pay for your problems
But the sinner won't look in your eye
