Knowing what Gary has been thru in the last year,
This song is tremendously emotional! I looked it up
and after his wife's suicide, he started writing songs
again to heal and this is one of 4 on his latest CD.
Gary is one of the few remaining singer/songwriters on
my short list of people I love to listen to on the
mainstream circuit.
D
I just got back from hell
ABm
And I'm standin' here alive
AD
I know it's really hard to tell
G
Don't know how I survived
ABm
Well, I can't say that I'm doin' great
ABm
But I think I'm doin' well
G
That devil's gonna have to wait
ADG
Cause I just got back from hell
Well I just got back from hell
And I guess to tell the truth
Well I've been mad at everyone
Including God and you
When you can't find no one to blame
You just blame yourself
And I know I'll never be the same
I just got back from hell
Chorus:
BmBm/AGG/F#
Forgive me if I had any part
EmG/F#GA
If I ever broke your heart in two
BmBm/AGG/F#
Forgive me for what I didn't know
EmG/F#G
For what I didn't say or do
GA
And God forgive me as well
DG
Cause I just got back from hell
Well, I just got back from hell
And I need to make some plans
It's the last thing that I wanna do
But I'll do the best I can
I'm gonna learn to live again
But I think I'll sit a spell
Tell the world that I'm alive
And I just got back from hell
Tag
I can't say that I'm doin' great
But I think I'm gettin well
Gonna let the world know that I'm alive
And I just got back from hell
I just got back from hell
I just got back from hell
Got back from He-e-e-e-e-ee-e-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l
