In Fmy head I heCard your voice Gsaying something
DmDeep in the Ffog that was Ccovering meG

[Verse 2]
DmAnd I fell Fback to the Cpast and the Ggrace that I lacked
DmBlind in the Fpraise that was Csmothering meG  
Now I've Dmleft it so Flong, coCasting aGlong
But FI know I was wrong

[Intro]

Dm F C G

[Verse 1]

Woke up

F C G

In my head I heard your voice saying something

Dm F C G

Deep in the fog that was covering me

Dm F C G F

You said, "Why don't you call or at least call back sometime?"

[Verse 2]

Dm F C G

And I fell back to the past and the grace that I lacked

Dm F C G

Blind in the praise that was smothering me

Dm F C G

Now I've left it so long, coasting along

But I know I was wrong

[Chorus]

G C F

Maybe my carefree's been careless

G C F

Maybe the story was half true

G C F

All the words that I've held too close to my chest

Dm G Dm F C G Dm F C G

Are calling on me now to get through

[Verse 3]

Dm F C G

So I thought maybe I'd call and that would be all

Dm F C G

Clear out regrets that were hovering here

Dm F C G F

But how could I get to a place that's so distant now

[Verse 4]

Dm F C G

Back then I knew right away and still I didn't say

Dm F C G

Under my breath I was muttering

Dm F C G

And from the start I gave just part of my heart

And now I see what I did, What I did

[Chorus]

G C F

Maybe my carefree's been careless

G C F

Maybe the story was half true

G C F

All the words that I've held too close to my chest

Dm G

Are calling on me now to, to get through

G C F

Maybe my carefree's been careless

G C F

Maybe the story was half true

G C F

All the words that I've held too close to my chest

Dm G F G

Are calling on me now to get through

F G

To get through

[Bridge]

F G

I'll be hollering out the words that I meant to use

F G

I'll be hollering out the words that I meant to use

[Chorus]

G C F

Maybe my carefree's been careless

G C F

Maybe the story was half true

G C F

All the words that I've held too close to my chest

Dm G

Are calling on me now to, to get through

G C F

Maybe my carefree's been careless

G C F

Maybe the story was half true

G C F

All the words that I've held too close to my chest

Dm G C F

Are calling on me now to, to get throoooooough

G C F

To get throooooough

G C F

To get throooooough

G C G Dm

To get throooooough
