Standard (EADGBE)
There are things I have done.
Theres a place I have gone.
Theres a beast and I let it run
now its running my way.
There are things I regret
You cant forgive you cant forget
Theres a gift that you sent
you sent it my way.
(Yes
the verse DOES end w/ Am and Chorus still starts with Am
If you pick the verse and strum the chorus it works great)
Chorus
So take this night
Wrap it around me like a sheet.
I know Im not forgiven
but I need a place to sleep.
So take this night
Lay me down on the street.
I know Im not forgiven
but I hope that Ill be given some peace.
(Verse 2: Back to simple picking.)
(Follow the Am-2x E-2x pattern originally set in the first verse and remember this song
all about vocal inflection not guitar prowess ... listen to the song if you don't
me.)
Theres a game that I played.
There are rules I had to break.
Theres mistakes
that I made but I made them my way.
So take this night
and wrap it around me like a sheet.
I know Im not forgiven
but I need a place to sleep.
So take this night
and lay me down on the street.
I know Im not forgiven
but I hope that Ill be given some peace.
Some peace, some peace.
