Intro (x2): Em C G Verse: Em C G I thought I saw the devil, this morning Em C G Looking in the mirror, drop of rum on my tongue Em C G Em C G With the warning to help me see myself clearer Am G I never meant to start a fire, Am G Em I never meant to make you bleed, I'll be a better man today Chorus: Em C G I'll be good, I'll be good Em C G And I'll love the world, like I should Em C G Yeah, I'll be good, I'll be good Am Em C G For all of the times that I never could. Verse: Em C G My past has tasted bitter for years now, Em C G So I wield an iron fist Em C G Grace is just weakness Em C G Or so I've been told. Em C G I've been cold, I've been merciless Am G But the blood on my hands scares me to death Am G Em Maybe I'm waking up today Chorus: Em C G I'll be good, I'll be good Em C G And I'll love the world, like I should Em C G Yeah, I'll be good, I'll be good Bridge: Am G For all of the light that I shut out Am G For all of the innocent things that I've doubt D Am G For all of the bruises that I've caused and the tears C D Am G For all of the things that I've done all these years C D Am G Yeah, for all of the sparks that I've stomped out C D Am G For all of the perfect things that I doubt Chorus: Em C G I'll be good, I'll be good Em C G And I'll love the world, like I should Em C G Yeah, I'll be good, I'll be good Am Em C G For all of the times that I never could.

Habits of my heart needs to be added
anybody knows more or less the strumming pattern?
is there a good version for female voices?
the font difference between the comment box and the actual comment itself keeps messing up my dang chord succession. bleagh
For the strumming i use DDUUDDU
I play at +5 and sing an octave up. some of the notes are placed a little but off, but it’s an easy fix.
The ‘C’ should be changed to c6 (open chords)
