NOTE: This is not the version from The Bittersweet album. I'm not sure what LP or 
EP this version is from, but I think it's better than The Bittersweet version. He 
does it in Drop D, but I do this in standard tuning. It's up to you!


Dm                              C           F
I would have given my world to see
C        F            C
You deliver the jailer's key
Bb                     F
I'd give you the credit
                               C
And take what went wrong

Dm                                 C    F
I would have given most anything
C                 F                    C
To see your lips move but hear me singing
Bb                                 F
If you had opened your mouth 
                          C
And spit out my song


Dm    C             F
Lover you're forgiven
                F                C         F
You have suffered for long enough
            F                   C
They're holding their breath
             F                 Bb
And I'm calling their bluff
       F         C             F
Our love is strong enough
       F         C         Dm       C    F
Our love is strong enough


Dm                         C        F
If there were ever a movie made
         C                F                 C
That outlines my life in some honest way
Bb                             F                          C
Line for line note for note and page by page
Dm                              C                F
I'd hope that who ever played your part
           C             F                   C
Would feel my remorseful and heavy heart
Bb                                F                                   C
They would open their mouth and unyieldingly say


Dm    C            F
Lover you're forgiven
               F                 C         F
You have suffered for long enough
            F                   C
They're holding their breath
              F                Bb
And I'm calling their bluff
       F         C            F
Our love is strong enough
       F         C           Dm      C    F
Our love is strong enough


Am                           E                  C
Instead you held the key over my head 
                         D
And just out of reach
      F                   C
Till any love that used to be
       F                    C
Got wasted on the need for me
     F                       C
To feel as though I could be free
                 F                              C
'Cause I'm not your asshole I'm not your thief
  F                              Am6/F#        G
I thank the lord that I finally was released

Am    G            C
Lover you're forgiven
                  Am              G        C
We've both suffered for long enough
        F                   G
They all held their breath
                         Am         F
But we couldn't call their bluff
                 F                 G            C
'Cause our love wasn't strong enough
       F                G             C
Our love wasn't strong enough
      F                 G             C
Our love wasn't strong enough
