I Ain’t No Nice Guy

[Verse 1] When I was young I was the nicest guy I knew I thought I was the chosen one But time went by And I found out a thing or two My shine wore off as time wore on [Chorus] I thought that I was living Out the perfect life But in the lonely hours When the truth begins to bite I thought about the times When I turned my back and stalled I ain't no nice guy after all [Verse 2] When I was young I was the nicest guy in town I thought I had it down for sure But time went by And I was lost in what I found The reasons blurred, the way unsure [Chorus] I thought that I was living Life the only way But I saw that life was More than day to day I turned around I read the writing on the wall I ain't no nice guy after all I ain't no nice guy after all [Verse 3] In all the years you spent Between your birth and death You find there's lots of times When you should have saved your breath It comes as quite a shock When that trip leads to the fall I ain't no nice guy after all I ain't no nice guy after all [Bridge] When I was young I was the nicest guy I knew I thought I was the chosen one But time went by and I found out a thing or two My shine wore off as time wore on [Chorus] I thought that I was living Out the perfect life But in the lonely hours When the moon's the only light I thought about the times I turned my back and stalled I ain't no nice guy after all I ain't no nice guy after all
