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

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
            B5 *
You deserve better
       A5 **
Out of trust 
      B5 *
It?s on my back
       A5 **
In my ears

G5 
The sound come clear it rings the awful truth
That I can?t stand what I?ve done to you
E5 (024000)
And  it?s written clear in my diary
Today should have been our anniversary

G5 
And I?m far away And I?m far apart
And you?re back home with a broken heart
E5 (024000)
And love is real and I can?t escape
                       B5 (x24432 and x24430)
I only ever have myself to blame

      A5        A5     E5       D5      G5         B5
These failures shift and shape me in the night
      A5         A5   E5   D5   G5         B5
Like a fever I can?t (????) as I might
      A5         A5   E5     D5      G5         
Wake me darling I need you to take me home
    B5
But I know
       A5       A5      E5       D5
In the end redemption is mine and mine alone

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
             G5 *
I don?t think I can do this
