Dm
Heaven bent to take my hand
Bb F
And lead me through the fire
Cadd9/4 Dm
Be the long awaited answer
Bbsus2 F Fma7
To a long and painful fight
Dm
Truth be told I've tried my best
Bbsus2 FFma7
But somewhere along the way
Dm Amb6 Bbsus2
I got caught up in all there was to offer
Dm Amb6 Bb
And the cost was so much more than I could bear
Gm Bb
Though I've tried, fallen...
F C Gm
I have sunk so low
Bb
I messed up
F C Gm
Better I should know
Bb F
So don't come round here
C GmAb
And tell me I told you so
Dm
We all begin with good intent
Bb F
Love was raw and young
Cadd9/4 Dm
We believe that we could change ourselves
Bbsus2 Fm7
The past could be undone
Dm
But we carry on our backs the burden
Bbsus2 F
Time always reveals
C Dm
In the lonely light of morning
Dm6 Bb
In the wound that would not heal
Gm Bb F
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
C Gm
That I have held so dear.
I've fallen...
F C Gm
I have sunk so low
Bb
I messed up
F C Gm
Better I should know
Bb F
So don't come round here
C GmBb
And tell me I told you so
FCGBCGBb
Dm
Heaven bent to take my hand
Bb F
Nowhere left to turn
Cadd9/4 Dm
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
Bbsus2 FFma7
To everyone I know
Dm
Oh they turned their heads embarassed
Bb FFm7
Pretend that they don't see
Dm
That it's one missed step
Amb6 Amb6s2
One slip before you know it
Dm Amb6 Bbsus2
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed
Gm Bb
Though I've tried, fallen...
F C Gm
I have sunk so low
Bb
I messed up
F C Gm
Better I should know
Bb F
So don't come round here
C GmBb
And tell me I told you so
F CGm
Ohhhh I
Bb
I messed up
F C Gm
Better I should know
Bb F
You don't come round here
C GmDm
And tell me I told you so
