[Intro 1]
[G][Em][F][C]
[G][Em][F][C]
Ooh, ooh, [G]ooh, [Em]yeah[F][C]
Ooh, ooh, [G]ooh[Em][F][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]You're having a har[Em]d time
and [F]lately you don't [C]feel so good
[G][Em][F][C]
[G]You're getting a bad[Em] reputat[F]ion
in your [C]neighborhood
[G][Em][F][C]

[Chorus 1]
[G]It's alrig[Em]ht, it's alrig[F]ht
some[C]times that's what it [G]takes
[Em][F][C]
[G]You're only hum[Em]an
You're al[F]lowed to make your
[C]share of [G]mistakes
[Em](only huma[F]n, woo, [C]woo)

[Verse 2]
[Dm]You better believe there will be
[C]times in your life
When you'll be [Bm]feeling like a stumbling fool
[Em](oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Dm]So take it from me you'll learn
[C]more from your accidents
Than [Am]anything that you could ever
[D]learn at school
[G]Don't for[C]get your [F]second [Bb]wind
[G]Sooner or later you'll [C]get your [F]second [Bb]wind

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em][F][C]
Woo, woo, [G]woo [Em]yeah[F][C]

[Verse 3]
[G]It's not always eas[Em]y to be
[F]living in this [C]world of [G]pain[Em]
[F][C]
[G]You're gonna be cra[Em]shing
into [F]stone walls a[C]gain and [G]again[Em]
[F][C]

[Chorus 2]
[G]It's alrig[Em]ht, it's alrig[F]ht
Though you [C]feel your heart [G]break
[Em][F][C]
[G]You're only hum[Em]an
You're [F]gonna have to [C]deal with heartache
[G][Em]
(only [F]human, [C]woo, woo)

[Verse 4]
[Dm]Just like a boxer in a title[C] fight
You got to [B]walk in that ring all [Em]alone
[Dm]You're not the only one
who's [C]made mistakes
But they're the [Am]only things
that you can [D]truly call your own
[G]Don't for[C]get your [F]second [Bb]wind
[G]Wait in the corner un[C]til
that [F]breeze blows [Bb]in

[Bridge 1]
[Dm]You've been keeping
to your[E]self these days
'Cause you're [Eb]thinking
everything's gone [D]wrong
[C]Sometimes you just want
to [B]lay down and die
That e[Em]motion can be so [A]strong
But hold [D]on
Till that [D]old second wind
comes a[G]long[Em][F][C]
[G][Em][F][C]

[Solo 1]
[G][Em][F][C]
[G](On[Em]ly human, w[F]oo, wo[C]o)
[G][Em][F][C]
[G](On[Em]ly human)[F][C]

[Verse 5]
[G]You probably don[Em]'t want to hea[F]r advice
from [C]someone [G]else[Em]
[F]No[C]
[G]But I wouldn't be tel[Em]ling you if
[F]I hadn't b[C]een there m[G]y self
[Em]Hm[F][C]

[Chorus 3]
[G]It's alrig[Em]ht, it's alrig[F]ht
S- [C]s- sometimes that's all it [G]takes
[Em][F][C]
[G]We're only hum[Em]an
[F]We're sup[C]posed to make mis[G]takes
[Em](only huma[F]n, woo, [C]woo)

[Verse 6]
[Dm]But I survived all those long [C]lonely days
When it [B]seemed
I did not have a [Em]friend
[Dm]'Cause all I needed was a litt[C]le faith
So I could [Am]catch my breath
and face the [D]world again
[G]Don't for[C]get your [F]second [Bb]wind
[G]Sooner or later you'll un[C]feel
that mo- [F]mentum kick [Bb]in
[G]Don't for[C]get your [F]second [Bb]wind
[G]Sooner or later you'll un[C]feel
that mo- [F]mentum kick [Bb]in

[Outro 1]
[G]Don[Em]'t fo[F]rget your se[C]cond win[G]d
[Em](only huma[F]n, woo, [C]woo, woo)[G]
[Em][F][C]
[Repeat and fade]
