C#mB
Heaven bent to take my hand
AE
And lead me through the fire
BC#m \\\
Be the long awaited answer
AE
To a long and painful fight
C#mB
Truth be told I've tried my best
AE
But somewhere along the way
C#mBA
I got caught up in all there was to offer
C#mBA
And the cost was so much more than I could bear
F#mA
Though I've tried, I've fallen...
EBF#m \\\
I have sunk so low
A
I have messed up
EB
Better I should know
F#mA
So don't come round here
EBA
And tell me I told you so...
(same chords with the 1st stanza)
We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
THe past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
F#mC#m
The lonely light of morning
F#mC#m
The wound that would not heal
F#mAE \\\
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
BF#m - A \\\ (i'm pretty sure now of this part)
That I have held so dear.
E
I've fallen...
BF#m
I have sunk so low
A
I have messed up
B
Better I should know
F#mA
So don't come round here
EBA
And tell me I told you so...
(same chords with the 1st stanza)
Heaven bent to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turned their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don't see
C#m
But it's one missed step
BA
You'll slip before you know it
C#mBA
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed
F#mA
Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...
