C                                                     D
I realize how difficult it is for you to take me as I am 
    G                                                                      C
And knowin' that you're not the first to love me makes the difference in a man 
                                                                  D
But I feel no shame or guilty conscience knowing the way my moral stand 
       G
But my one big mistake in life is lettin? down my strength 
                                  C
Just to satisfy the weakness in a man. 
   F         G                          C
So here I am now you're all of my yesterdays 
     F            G                              D
Just take my hand if you can't see yourself with me 
  C                                                   D
I know my past must hurt you but baby I do the best I can 
   G                                                            C
To live with things I did before without a wedding ring upon my hand 
                                                              D
Oh you know it seems so funny that the story should end as it began 
       G
But my one big mistake in life was lettin? down my strength 
                                  C
