[Verse 1]
     A
I've seen it goin' 'round when you get bad news
 
Thinkin' that you found a darker shade of blue
G                                D
Lookin' for the light and it's a long way back
                                      C       A
You know without a fight you're gonna fade to black
A
Never was a man that ever felt this way
 
One who couldn't stand to live another day
G                           D
Hard times seem to have the corner on you
                          C     A
but you can rise from the ashes too
 
[Chorus]
         D               C              G         A
When I'm on my knees and everything has gotten me beat
         D             C           G       A
and even I believe I'm never gonna find my feet
    D                                     A
Two ways you can go, you can ask anybody around
          G                E                    A     C  G
One man's half way up is another man's half way down
 
[Verse 2]
        A
Now you may decide it's a losin' game
 
Even in your stride you're gonna call it lame
G                            D
Gettin' one leg up when it's said and done
                              C       A
is the hardest part no matter how you run
   A
If you can walk away from a crash and burn
 
you'll appreciate every step you earn
G                             D
and if you feel the ground is gainin' on you
                               C         A
you're already bound to take a different view
 
[Chorus]
         D               C              G         A
When I'm on my knees and everything has gotten me beat
         D             C           G       A
and even I believe I'm never gonna find my feet
    D                                     A
Two ways you can go, you can ask anybody around
          G                E                    A
One man's half way up is another man's half way down
 
[Bridge]
D                      A
One man's ceiling is another man's floor
D                         A
One man's wall could be another man's door
C                    D
One man's smile is another man's frown
              F                 E               A
and there are miles of half way up and half way down
 
[Outro]
