[Verse 1]
N.C. C#m
You know I've always been a bad seed

Drifted every way the wind blows

Now I ain't got much to show

You know you reap just what you sow
[Verse 2]

Tried to settle for a spell

Had an angel in my corner
E F# G#m
Made her life a living hell

Bad seed

There's a darkness I can't hide

Bad seed
E F# G#m
Too much pain to keep inside
[Verse 3]
N.C. C#m
Now there's no need to try and help me
G#m
I don't try to help myself
C#m
I cling to a losin' hand
E F# G#m
Empty heart is all that's left
[Chorus]

There's a darkness I can't hide

Too much pain to keep inside
