Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

There's things I know I

should have mentioned sooner

But I didn't know how

I'm sorry I lost you

I never thought that this

could come between us

I know its water and bridges now

But what's the sense

in carrying around

This weight These words

are tearing me apart

Chorus 1

And that's enough for

the back to break

That's an awful lot to take

But I've been paying for

it since I drove my girl away

And that's the sign

of a solemn man

I'll make the best of

the best I can

And I'll be better for it

if I ever get my chance

Verse 3

That face I know exactly

what you're thinking

But I'm certain this

time is different

And that's why I can't pretend

that everything is mended

I know I've tried to

for too long now

But what's the sense

in carrying around

This weight

These words are

tearing us apart

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Bridge

Oh save me from a gray life

Oh save me from a gray life

I've paid the price

with my soul Oh save me

Chorus 2

And that's enough for

the back to break

That's an awful lot to take

But I've been paying for

it since I drove my girl away

And that's the sign

of a solemn man

I'll make the best of

the best I can

And I'll be better for it

if I ever get my chance

If I ever get my chance

If I ever get my chance

If I ever get my chance
