Intro [ A5 ] [ E5 ] [ F#5 ]

Well I'm [ A5 ] calling you
Cause you [ E5 ] deserve to know
[ F#5 ] You are not the [ D5 ] reason I [ E5 ] had to[ E5 ] ?go,

[ A5 ] Late at night in the [ E5 ] hotel room
I [ F#5 ] think of all I've [ D5 ] lost,
What I've [ E5 ] put you [ E5 ] through

And [ F#5 ] if I knew the [ E5 ] reason
I would [ A5 ] tell [ D5 ] you [ A5 ] why [ E5 ] somehow
The feeling slipped [ D5 ] away
I [ A5 ] only did what I [ E5 ]had to do
Not [ F#5 ] cause I wanted to. [ E5 - E5 ]

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.
