Dm
Heaven bent to take my hand
    Bb                  F  
And lead me through the fire
Cadd9/4             Dm
Be the long awaited answer
     Bbsus2            F     Fma7
To a long and painful fight


Dm
Truth be told I've tried my best
    Bbsus2                F   Fma7
But somewhere along the way
Dm                 Amb6             Bbsus2
I got caught up in all there was to offer
Dm                       Amb6              Bb
And the cost was so much more than I could bear


            Gm     Bb
Though I've tried, fallen...
F      C       Gm
I have sunk so low
   Bb
I messed up
F      C            Gm
Better I should know
         Bb              F  
So don't come round here
              C        Gm       Bb   A
And tell me I told you so


Dm
We all begin with good intent
Bb                    F
Love was raw and young
   Cadd9/4                Dm
We believe that we could change ourselves
    Bbsus2              F   Fm7
The past could be undone


Dm
But we carry on our backs the burden
Bbsus2             F
Time always reveals
       C               Dm
In the lonely light of morning
       Dm6                  Bb
In the wound that would not heal
         Gm               Bb              F
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
                C         Gm
That I have held so dear.

      
I've fallen...
F      C       Gm
I have sunk so low
   Bb
I messed up
F      C            Gm
Better I should know
         Bb              F  
So don't come round here
              C        Gm    Bb 
And tell me I told you so


F C Gm Bb C Gm Bb


Dm
Heaven bent to take my hand
Bb               F
Nowhere left to turn
Cadd9/4               Dm  
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
     Bbsus2      F   Fma7
To everyone I know
        Dm
Oh they turned their heads embarassed
Bb                        F   Fm7
Pretend that they don't see
Dm           
That it's one missed step
    Amb6                   Bbsus2  Amb6
One slip before you know it
    Dm                   Amb6      Bbsus2    
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed


            Gm     Bb
Though I've tried, fallen...
F      C       Gm
I have sunk so low
  Bb
I messed up
F      C            Gm
Better I should know
         Bb              F  
So don't come round here
              C        Gm       Bb   
And tell me I told you so

     
F     C  Gm
Ohhhh I
   Bb
I messed up
F      C            Gm
Better I should know
          Bb             F  
You don't come round here
              C        Gm       Bb  C  Gm  Bb  C  Dm
And tell me I told you so
