Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Over and Over and Over again.
 I palm mute verses and strum chorus in time. Gives the original feel of the song
 even when played on the acoustic
 Lyrics:
When  I was young, I  was so full of fear
I  hid behind anger, held  back the tears
It  was me against the world, I  was sure that I'd win
The  world fought back, punished  me for my sins
 I felt so alone, so insecure
 I blamed you instead and made sure I was heard
 And they tried to warn me of my evil ways
 But I couldn't hear what they had to say
 I was wroooong
Self  destruction's got  me again
 I was wrooooong
I  realized now that I  was wrong
 And I think about my loves, well I've had a few
 I'm sorry that I hurt them, did I hurt you too
 I took what I wanted, put my heart on the shelf
 Now how can you love me when you don't love yourself
 It was me against the world, I was sure that I'd win
 The world fought back, punished me for my sins
 And they tried to warn me of my evil ways
 But I couldn't hear what they had to say
 I was wrong
 Self destruction's got me again
 I was wrong
 I realized now that I was wrong
 I was wrong, yeah
 I was wrong
 I grew up fast, I grew up hard
 Something was wrong from the very start
 I was fighting everybody, I was fighting everything
 But the only one that I hurt was me
 I got society's blood running down my face
 Somebody help me get outta this place
 How could someone's bad luck last so long
 Until I realized that I was wrong
 I was wrong
 Self destruction's got me again
 I was wrong
 I realized now that I was wrong
 I was wrong
 Self destruction's got me again
 I was wrong
 The only one that I hurt was me
 I was wrong
