Intro [ A ] [ E ] [ F#m ]

Well I'm [ A ] calling you
Cause you [ E ] deserve to know
[ F#m ] You are not the [ D ] reason I [ E4 ] had to[ E ] ?go,

[ A ] Late at night in the [ E ] hotel room
I [ F#m ] think of all I've [ D ] lost,
What I've [ E4 ] put you [ E ] through

And [ F#m ] if I knew the [ E ] reason
I would [ A ] tell [ D ] you [ A ] why [ E ] somehow
The feeling slipped [ D ] away
I [ A ] only did what I [ E ]had to do
Not [ F#m ] cause I wanted to. [ E4 - E ]

I've got a guilty heart
And a troubled mind
No matter where I go
You're never far behind

I'd like to think?
That you'd forgiven me
But forgiveness ain't enough
To wash my conscience clean

Oh if I knew the reason?
I would tell you why somehow?
The feeling slipped away
I only did what I had to do
Not cause I wanted to.
