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
