F#m (intro)

D                                                  A
Done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right
Oh I, Oh I've
D                                          A D
F#m    D     A   D     F#m  D A  D  A
Done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right 
A
At this point in my life
         D                                      F#m                               D
I've done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right
            A                          D                      F#m
If you put your trust in me I hope I won't let you down
                    D         A
If you give me a chance I'll try
                      F#m     D    A              E
You see it's been a hard road       the road I'm traveling on
              F#m               D    A                            E
And if I take your hand      I might lead you down the path to ruin
                  F#m   D   A                    F#m
I've had a hard life     I'm just saying it so you'll understand
         D                           E
That right now, right now, I'm doing the best I can 

      A                   D
At this point in my life
     A                   D
At this point in my life
                            D                        F#m
Although I've mostly walked in the shadows
                                       D
I'm still searching for the light
                   A
Won't you put your faith in me
                       D                    F#m
We both know that's what matters
                                     D            A
If you give me a chance I'll try
                                F#m             D   A                  E
You see I've been climbing stairs       but mostly stumbling down

                 F#m            D       A          E
I've been reaching high          always losing ground                        
                      F#m                D     A                    F#m
You see I've conquered hills           but I still have mountains to climb
         D                                     E
And right now right now I'm doing the best I can
     A                     D    A
At this point in my life 

A 
Before we take a step
                                                 D
Before we walk down that path
D
Before I make any promises
                      F#m
Before you have regrets
F#m
Before we talk commitment
Let me tell you of my past
D
All I've seen and all I've done
       E
The things I'd like to forget 

A                    D
At this point in my life
A                    D
At this point in my life
                 D                           F#m
I'd like to live as if only love mattered
F#m                               D
As if redemption was in sight
                A
As if the search to live honestly
               D                        F#m
Is all that     anyone needs
                          D             A
No matter if you     find it 
                                F#m                  D   A
You see when I've touched the sky
A                                       E
The earth's gravity has pulled me down
        F#m                   D                   A 
But now I've reconciled that in this world
A                                 E
Birds and angels get the wings to fly
                      F#m               D                A
If you can believe in this heart of mine
                   E
If you can give it a try
                 D
Then I'll reach inside and find and give you
           E
All the sweetness that I have
      A
At this point in my life
      D                            A
At this point in my life
