Tabbed by guitaristu Capo 2 INTRO/VERSE G * A * F#m * I was walking home to my house through the snow from the station When Springsteen came clear in my headphones with a pertinent question Oh is love really real and can any of us hope for redemption? Or are we all merely biding our time down to the lonely conclusions Darling let me take your hand as I talk you through this How loneliness edged in to deep seated psychosis Lying awake in crowded hotel rooms focussed on tape hiss And my failings laid clear on the ceiling I don?t think I can do this I don?t think I can do this BREAK Bm * A ** 0 0 5 0 0 5 7 8 8 7 8 8 7 7 7 6 6 6 x2 0 0 0 7 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 7 7 x x x G * A * F#m * I tried so hard to not turn into my father But if I only ever skip out his choices will I ever choose better Oh the sad truth is the grass it will always seem greener So I left you alone in a restaurant in London in winter Bm * You deserve better A ** Out of trust Bm * It?s on my back A ** In my ears G The sound come clear it rings the awful truth That I can?t stand what I?ve done to you Em (024000) And it?s written clear in my diary Today should have been our anniversary G And I?m far away And I?m far apart And you?re back home with a broken heart Em (024000) And love is real and I can?t escape Bm (x24432 and x24430) I only ever have myself to blame A A9 Em D G Bm These failures shift and shape me in the night A A9 Em D G Bm Like a fever I can?t (????) as I might A A9 Em D G Wake me darling I need you to take me home Bm But I know A A9 Em D In the end redemption is mine and mine alone G * A * F#m * x2 G * A * F#m * So my feature list is made up of a tally of mistakes and successes And the hour in that restaurant makes my score less than impressive Oh each can be redeemed by the courage in which he confesses So darling I miss you Your music and your musk and your kisses G * I don?t think I can do this
