Bm
First comes the pitch
D
Then comes the sale
A
Pretty soon you wash it down
Bm
With a Molotov cocktail
[Verse 2]
Bm
It's just the perks
D
Of the road to fame
A
Intentions so well-disguised
Bm
The lies don't seem so strange
[Chorus]
G D
I ain't saying I got a bad bad deal
A Bm
That I was wronged or innocent
G D
But the foolish choices a young man makes
A Bm
Are the same ones he'll resent
[Verse 3]
Bm
When the lights come on
D
The moths flutter in
A Bm
Oblivious that radiance eventually goes dim

The solitude of midnight

And the loneliness in the trail
A
Before too long there's reflection
Bm
But you can't see yourself
[Chorus]

I ain't saying I got a bad bad deal

But the foolish choices a young man makes
A Bm
Are the same ones he'll resent

Life's full of struggles, twists, and turns
A Bm
There's gonna be fires, and you're gonna get burned, burned burned
