I'm not sure the lyrics in the first line are correct. 
 
The rhythm of this song is a repeated

Intro 
 G5   D5 C5  G5   D5 C5 
         X4 
G5              D5  C5       G5      D5  C5 
A train pulls in off the street       
G5             D5     C5        G5        D5  C5 
Soft and low like a mother's heartbeat 
G5           D5             C5         G5      D5  C5 
I've been trying to get my mind off me 
G5                 D5         C5              G5      D5  C5 
But I'm more self conscious than I've ever been 
 

       G5    D5  C5 
By the time 
        G5    D5  C5 
You get this 
         G5    D5  C5 
I'll be long gone 
             G5    D5  C5 
God's my witness 
 

 G5   D5 C5  G5   D5 C5 
It's all there in black and white 

It's just the story of my life 

Well, you get it or you don't 

You're the only one I've ever told 
 

G5    D5  C5 
By the time 
        G5    D5  C5 
You get this 
         G5    D5  C5 
I'll be long gone 
             G5    D5  C5 
God's my witness 
           G5    D5  C5 
And it's hard 
          G5    D5  C5 
To keep living 
           G5    D5  C5 
When I know I'm , 
         G5    D5  C5 
not forgiven 
 
Still it comes, still it comes 
There's nothing else I could've done 
Not with the cards they've given me 
Do you think you'll ever forgive me? 
 
By the time 
You get this 
I'll be long gone 
God's my witness 
It's so hard  
to keep living  
when I know I'm 
not forgiven 
 
Hey 
I'm forgiven 
I'm forgiven 
I'm forgiven 
I'm forgiven
