Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Okay so I was wrong about

 My reasons for us fallin’ out

 Of love I want to fall back in

My life is different now I swear

 I know now what it means to care

 About somebody other than myself

I know the things I said to you

 They were untender and untrue

 I’d like to see those things undo

So if you could find it in your heart

 To give a man a second start

 I promise things won’t end the same

(Chorus)

Shame, boatloads of shame

 Day after day, more of the same

Blame, please lift it off

 Please take it off, please make it stop

Okay so I have read the mail

 The stories people often tell

 About us that we never knew

But their existence will float away

 And just like every word they say

 And we will hold hands as they fade

(Chorus)

Shame, boatloads of shame

 Day after day, more of the same

Blame, please lift it off

 Please take it off, please make it stop

(Bridge)

I felt so sure of everything

 My love to you so well received

 And I just strutted around your town

 Knowing I didn’t let you down

 The truth be known, the truth be told

 My heart was always fairly cold

 Posing to be as warm as yours

 My way of getting in your world

 But now I’m out and I’ve had time

To look around and think

 And sink into another world

 That’s filled with guilt and overwhelming

(Chorus)

Shame, boatloads of shame

 Day after day, more of the same

Blame, please lift it off

 Please take it off, please make it stop

And everyone they have a heart

 And when they break and fall apart

 And need somebody’s helping hand

I used to say just let ’em fall

 It wouldn’t bother me at all

 I couldn’t help them now I can
