Standard (EADGBE)

I would have given my world to see

You deliver the jailer's key

I'd give you the credit

And take what went wrong

I would have given most anything

To see your lips move but hear me singing

If you had opened your mouth

And spit out my song

Lover you're forgiven

You have suffered for long enough

They're holding their breath

And I'm calling their bluff

Our love is strong enough

Our love is strong enough

If there were ever a movie made

That outlines my life in some honest way

Line for line note for note and page by page

I'd hope that who ever played your part

Would feel my remorseful and heavy heart

They would open their mouth and unyieldingly say

Lover you're forgiven

You have suffered for long enough

They're holding their breath

And I'm calling their bluff

Our love is strong enough

Our love is strong enough

Instead you held the key over my head

And just out of reach

Till any love that used to be

Got wasted on the need for me

To feel as though I could be free

'Cause I'm not your asshole I'm not your thief

I thank the lord that I finally was released

Lover you're forgiven

We've both suffered for long enough

They all held their breath

But we couldn't call their bluff

'Cause our love wasn't strong enough

Our love wasn't strong enough

Our love wasn't strong enough
