F#5 (intro)

D5                                                  A5
Done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right
Oh I, Oh I've
D5                                          A5 D5
F#5    D5     A5   D5     F#5  D5 A5  D5  A5
Done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right 
A5
At this point in my life
         D5                                      F#5                               D5
I've done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right
            A5                          D5                      F#5
If you put your trust in me I hope I won't let you down
                    D5         A5
If you give me a chance I'll try
                      F#5     D5    A5              E5
You see it's been a hard road       the road I'm traveling on
              F#5               D5    A5                            E5
And if I take your hand      I might lead you down the path to ruin
                  F#5   D5   A5                    F#5
I've had a hard life     I'm just saying it so you'll understand
         D5                           E5
That right now, right now, I'm doing the best I can 

      A5                   D5
At this point in my life
     A5                   D5
At this point in my life
                            D5                        F#5
Although I've mostly walked in the shadows
                                       D5
I'm still searching for the light
                   A5
Won't you put your faith in me
                       D5                    F#5
We both know that's what matters
                                     D5            A5
If you give me a chance I'll try
                                F#5             D5   A5                  E5
You see I've been climbing stairs       but mostly stumbling down

                 F#5            D5       A5          E5
I've been reaching high          always losing ground                        
                      F#5                D5     A5                    F#5
You see I've conquered hills           but I still have mountains to climb
         D5                                     E5
And right now right now I'm doing the best I can
     A5                     D5    A5
At this point in my life 

A5 
Before we take a step
                                                 D5
Before we walk down that path
D5
Before I make any promises
                      F#5
Before you have regrets
F#5
Before we talk commitment
Let me tell you of my past
D5
All I've seen and all I've done
       E5
The things I'd like to forget 

A5                    D5
At this point in my life
A5                    D5
At this point in my life
                 D5                           F#5
I'd like to live as if only love mattered
F#5                               D5
As if redemption was in sight
                A5
As if the search to live honestly
               D5                        F#5
Is all that     anyone needs
                          D5             A5
No matter if you     find it 
                                F#5                  D5   A5
You see when I've touched the sky
A5                                       E5
The earth's gravity has pulled me down
        F#5                   D5                   A5 
But now I've reconciled that in this world
A5                                 E5
Birds and angels get the wings to fly
                      F#5               D5                A5
If you can believe in this heart of mine
                   E5
If you can give it a try
                 D5
Then I'll reach inside and find and give you
           E5
All the sweetness that I have
      A5
At this point in my life
      D5                            A5
At this point in my life
