A           E                 D
When I was young I was the nicest guy I knew
A            G                D
I thought I was the chosen one
A              E             D
But time went by and I found out a thing or two
A              G                 D
My shine wore off as time wore on
A               E             D
I thought that I was living out the perfect life
A           G                      D
But in the lonely hours when the truth begins to bite
A                    E             D
I thought about the times when I turned my back and sulked
A           G                D
I ain't no nice guy after all


[Verse 2]

A           E                 D
When I was young I was the only game in town
A            G                D
I thought I had it down for sure,
A              E                                D
But time went by and I was lost in what I found
A              G                 D
The reasons blurred, the way unsure
A               E             D
I thought that I was living life the only way
A           G                      D
But as I saw that life was more than day to day
A                    E             D
I turned around, I read the writing on the wall
A           G                D
I ain't no nice guy after all
A           G               A
I ain't no nice guy after all


[Bridge]

F#                           B
In all the years you spend between your birth and death
F#                                          B
You know there's lots of times when you should have saved your breath
E                                    A
It comes as quite a shock when that trip leads to a fall
A           G              D
I ain't no nice guy after all
A           G              A
I ain't no nice guy after all
