Verse 2:

Em

There'll be days

When I'll stray

Em

I give in

to sin

Because I like to practice what I preach

I'm not trying to say

Em

I'll have it all my way

C

I'm always willing to learn

D

When you've got something to teach

Em D Em

And I'll make it all worth-while

Em

Pain will you return it

Em C Am

I won't say it again
