Verse 1:
        G#5       Eb5
There's things I know I 
F5                    Eb5
should have mentioned sooner
      C#5     Eb5
But I didn't know how
    G#5      Eb5
I'm sorry I lost you
  F5                 Eb5
I never thought that this 
             C#5
could come between us
  Eb5       G#5        Eb5
I know its water and bridges now
    F5
But what's the sense 
   Eb5        C#5
in carrying around
     Eb5           C#5
This weight These words 
    Eb5
are tearing me apart


Interlude: G#5 - - C5 - C#5 - F5 - C#5 - G#5 --


Chorus 1:
G#5
  And that's enough for 
the back to break
C5                C#5
  That's an awful lot to take
    F5               C#5
But I've been paying for 
           G#5
it since I drove my girl away
G#5
  And that's the sign 
of a solemn man
C5
  I'll make the best of 
    C#5
the best I can
    F5             C#5
And I'll be better for it 
     G#5
if I ever get my chance


Interlude: G#5 - Eb5 - F5 - Eb5 - C#5 - Eb5 -


Verse 3:
     G#5     Eb5  F5
That face I know exactly 
            Eb5
what you're thinking
        C#5
But I'm certain this 
Eb5      G#5
time is different
    Eb5         F5
And that's why I can't pretend
     Eb5            C#5
that everything is mended
  Eb5        G#5
I know I've tried to 
    Eb5
for too long now
    F5
But what's the sense 
   Eb5        C#5
in carrying around
     Eb5
This weight 
      C#5
These words are 
Eb5
tearing us apart


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Bridge:
F5   Eb5   G#5        C#5
  Oh save me from a gray life
F5   Eb5   G#5        C#5
  Oh save me from a gray life
F5     Eb5       G#5
  I've paid the price 
        C#5  F5  Eb5   C#5
with my soul Oh save me

If I ever get my chance
If I ever get my chance
