                (A)                    (C#m)
I thought I was smart, I thought I was right

             (D)            (E)          
I thought it better not to fight

                      (A)        (F#m)         (E)
I thought there was a virtue in always bein cool

So when it came time to fight, I thought I'll just step aside

and that the time would prove you wrong and that you would be the fool

I don't know where the sun beams end and

The star Light begins it's all a mystery

       (A)        (C#m)              (D)              (E)  
Oh to fight is to defend if it's not now then tell me when would be the

Time that you would stand and be a man

For to lose I could accept but to surrender I just wept and regretted this

(A)      (F#m)           (E)              
Moment,           oh that I was the fool

I don't know where the sun beams end and

The star Light begins it's all a mystery

And I don't know how a man decides

            (A)      (C#m)              (D)              (E)  
Cause I'm a man not a boy and there are things you can't avoid you have to

(A)                  (F#m)            (E)  
Face them when you're not prepared to face them

     (A)    (C#m)       (D)            (E)    
If I could I would but you're with him now it'd do no good

               (A)            (F#m)                       (E)  
I should have fought him but instead I let him, I let him take it

I don't know where the sun beams end and

The star Light begins it's all a mystery
