[Verse 1]
Am
I been a prisoner of the past
F
Had a bitterness when I looked back
Am
Was telling everyone it's not that bad
F
'Til all my shit hit the fan
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am
I know I'm always like telling everybody
you don't gotta be a victim
Am
Life ain't always fair, but hell is living
in resentment
F
Choose redemption, your happy ending's up
to you
[Chorus 1]
F C
I think it's time to practice what I preach
Am G
Exorcise the demons inside me
F C Am
Whoa-ah-ah ah-ah-oh, gotta learn to let
G

F C
The past can't haunt me if I don't let it
Am G
Live and learn and never forget it
F C Am
Whoa-ah-ah ah-ah-oh, gotta learn to let
G

[Verse 2]
Am
Had a boogieman under my bed
F
Putting crazy thoughts inside my head
Am
Always whispering, "it's all your fault"
F
He was telling me "no, you're not that
strong"
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am
I know I'm always like telling everybody
you don't gotta be a victim
Am
Life ain't always fair, but hell is living
in resentment
F
Choose redemption, your happy ending's up
to you
[Chorus 2]
F C
So I think it's time to practice what I
preach
Am G
Exorcise the demons inside me
F C Am
Whoa-ah-ah ah-ah-oh, gotta learn to let
