[verse]
C Am F C
You straighten your back and you push out your chin
C Am G F
Stubbornly proud of the situation you’re in
C Am G Dm
You got a handful of friends who will stand up for you
C Am G C
But how many bad things can a good person do?
[verse]
C Am F C
The things that you did were the things that you planned
C Am G F
The whole world spins around the spot where you stand
C Am G Dm
For all of your life you believed that was true
C Am G C
But how many bad things can a good person do?
[chorus]
F Fm
How many bad things?
C Am
How many bad things?
Em F
We can count on you.
[verse]
C Am F C
We judge ourselves by the things in our heads
C Am G F
We judge everyone one else by the things that they’ve said
C Am G Dm
We’re always the hero from our own point of view
C Am G C
But how many bad things can a good person do?
[chorus]
F Fm
How many bad things?
C Am
How many bad things?
Em F
We can count on you.
