Practice What I Preach Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I d[C]on'[Bb]t kn[F]ow[Eb][C]
if I am qualified for this
No one checked on my credentials before
they [G]asked what your name is
Counted [C]fingers, counted toes,
said I can[F]not place your nose
[C]Then against my better judgment
we stepped [G]out into the cold

[Verse 2]
And now I [C]do my best
to practice what I preach
So you don't have to learn
things on [G]the street
Like [C]I did back when I was half my a[F]ge
Long be[C]fore I knew [G]the price
I'd have to pay
[C][Bb][F][Eb][C]

[Verse 3]
[F]My father tol[C]d me sometimes one
and one makes three
[?] chosen, nothing [G]worth a damn is free
But you [C]take no wooden nickles,
in fact [F]I'll get paid in change
[C]Re member who you are no matter
[G]what road that you take

[Verse 4]
And I will [C]do my best
to practice what I preach
So you don't have to learn
things on [G]the street
Like [C]I did back when I was half m[Bb]y age[F]
Long be[C]fore I knew [G]the price I'd

[Interlude 1]
have to pay
[C][G][F][Eb]
[C][G][Bb][F][Eb]
[C]

[Verse 5]
If you can [C]avoid it don't you get
by on your looks
And when you're searching
for an [G]answer [?]
And no [C]matter what,
don't be afraid to [F]say when you are wrong
But remember [C]it don't make you weak
To know that [G]you aren't always wrong

[Verse 6]
And I will [C]do my best
to practice what I preach
So you don't have to learn
things on [G]the street
Like [C]I did back when I was half m[F]y age
Long be[C]fore I knew [G]the price
I'd have [C]to pay
Long be[F]fore I knew [G]the price I'd

[Outro 1]
