[Verse 1]
                                D
I live my life with no regrets

I numb the pain with whiskey and cigarettes
                                                B
I've made mistakes but the devil won't drag me down -- oh no

E         D         C        B
I live my life with fear and shame
E          D             C               B
I drown my face with the tears that fall down like rain
E         D                C           B
I've made mistakes but the devil won't drag me down - oh no

I'll right my wrongs and I'll pay my dues
C                 D                        B
You can't have my soul, it don't belong to you -- yeah


[Chorus]
E
We are the sinners, we are the saints
D
We are the broken down, enduring all the pain
C
So keep on screaming, won't hear a sound
B
Your sticks and stones won't bring me down

Try to forget the things I've done
E       D          C          B
I do my best and I try not to hurt no one
E           D         C           B
