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
