[Intro]
 Cadd9   G   Em7x2
[Verse 1]
They say Cadd9heaven is a place where all pain Dis washed away
With no rooEm7m for all the torment of choices that we've made
I'm a Cadd9broken man saved by grace tossDed alone inside this maze
And Em7I am just a question to the answer you convey
[Pre-Chorus]
You've been Cadd9all the way to broken
Lost your Dsense of where to go
Em7Love is still the answer more than hate will ever know
It's not Cadd9too late to be rescued
Not too Dlate to let it go
Remember Em7pain is just an anchor you never had control andCadd9  
You give us Dlife and meaningG  
You give us Cadd9hope
[Chorus]
So   GIf I can be Dhonest how come I Em7always break my prCadd9omises to youG  
If I'm not afrDaid why am I so sEm7cared to move I'm baCadd9rely breathingG  
And if I can be hDonest how come I Em7always end up so fCadd9ar away from youG  
You made me a prDomise and I'll Bmalways hold it Cadd9true
[Interlude]
Em7
[Verse 2]
I believe Cadd9heaven is a place where we'll walk Dthe streets of gold
But she's seen Em7nothing but the concrete in a world that's left her cold
She's been Cadd9beaten bruised and broken she's felt pain Ginstead of love
InsEm7ide she was an angel but she never know she was
[Pre-Chorus]
You've been Cadd9all the way to broken
Lost your Dsense of where to go
Em7Love is still the answer more than hate will ever know
It's not Cadd9too late to be rescued
Not too Dlate to let it go
Remember Em7pain is just an anchor you never had control andCadd9  
You give us Dlife and meaningG  
You give us Cadd9hope
[Chorus]
So   GIf I can be Dhonest how come I Em7always break my prCadd9omises to youG  
If I'm not afrDaid why am I so sEm7cared to move I'm baCadd9rely breathingG  
And if I can be hDonest how come I Em7always end up so fCadd9ar away from youG  
You made me a prDomise and I'll Bmalways hold it Cadd9true
     GIf I can be Dhonest how come I Em7always break my prCadd9omises to youG
