G                   D                          A
I came home in the morning and everything was gone
                     D
oh what have I done?
G                   D                   A
I drop dead in the hallway cursing the dawn
                 D         G
oh come on sun why must I burn
D                   A   D
I'm just trying to learn

I stared into the light to kill some of my pain
It was all in vain, 'cause no senses remained
But an ache in my body
And regret on my mind
But I'll be fine

Chorus:
    D         G
I live and I learn
D                 A
Yes I live and I learn
        D             G
If you live you will learn
D                 F#m
And I live and I learn...

Got kicked in the head
So I started a fight
'Cause I knew I was right
But I learned I was wrong
I remember a slaughter
I remember I fought for the money I'd brought

Chorus:
        D            G
I got blistered and burnt
D                    A
And I lost what I'd earnt
       D           Em  D
But I lived and I learnt
                   A   D
Yes I lived and I learnt

Em  D     A     Em
I  got I got It now
Em  D     A     Em
I  got I got It now
  Em       D       A      Em
(She's got, she's got it now)
Em  D     A     Em
I  got I got It now
Em  D     A     Em
I  got I got It now
  Em       D       A     Em  D A A# A D
(She's got, she's got it now)

I came to on a corner
With some help from a man
And goddamn, I don’t seem to have learned
That a lady in need is guilty indeed
So I paid and got laid in return
And I don't know what I've learned

Chorus:
Well, you get what you give
And hell yes, I lived
But if you live as you learn
I don't think I can learn

Oh, with the sun in my eyes
Surprise, I'm living a life
But I don’t seem to learn
No, I don't think I can learn
