[Intro]
C D C D
[Verse]
She said GI'm not pointing fingers
D/F#He said yes you are
Cause you Em7wouldn't bring it Dup if you Cweren't
If I Gtold you I'd been walking
Out D/F#in the dark night thinking
Would you Em7take as truth this Dalcoholic's Cword
DI can't change what's done is done
But I can tell you this
Not a Em7day goes by that DI
Don't curse my Cself and all my sins
And I Gneed you to hold on to
While this Dpart of me is dying
And though I Em7haven't kicked the Ddemons
That Chaunt me, I'm Bmtry CingG  D  
I'm Ctry Ging
She Gsat down on the floor
And said I D/F#wish I was stronger
Right Em7now I feel as Dfragile as Cglass
I Gwant to believe you
Believe what's D/F#held you has freed you
And I Em7hate these doubts that Dkeep on coming Cback
My Dparent's think I'm crazy
For staying here this long
But there's Em7nothing more I Dwant for us
Than to Cprove to them they're wrong
I don't Gwant to be afraid
I don't Dwant to think you're lying
And though I Em7haven't found the Dfaith
That I Cneed, I'm Bmtry CingG  D  
I'm Ctry Ging
He Casked do Dyou Cwant me Dto Em7leave
Cause if you Cdo you know I Dwill
But she Csaid much Dto Chis dis Dbe Em7lief
CNooo I Dlove you still
He said I Gdon't know why I've been the fool
But D/F#I can tell you this
Not a Em7day goes by that DI
Don't curse my Cself and all my sins
Then he Gdropped down to his knees
By Dnow they both were crying
He said I Em7haven't been the Dman
I want to Cbe, but I'm Bmtry CingG  D  
I'm Ctry Ging
I'm Bmtry CingG  D  
Oh I'm Ctry Ging
