I Ethought that we'd be further along by Bsus2now
I can't remember G#sus4how we stumbled to this Aplace
EI loved you like a long lost brother
ON a Bsus2bad day maybe I thought why botherG#sus4  
I've seldom seen so much anger in a Aface
Chorus
I wanna do Ebetter, I wanna try Bsus2harder
I wanna G#sus4believe down to the Aletter
Jesus and EMary can you Bsus2carry us
Across this G#sus4ocean into the arms of Aforgiveness
EI don't mean to laugh out loud
Bsus2I'm trying to come clean trying to shed my doubt
G#sus4Or maybe I should just keep my big mouth Ashut
EMore often than not when it comes to you
Bsus2You want whatever's not in front of you
G#sus4Deep down I know this includes me Atoo
Chorus
(play thru chorus once again, this is where she does the la,la, la's)
So Etell me your troubles let your pain rain down
Bsus2I know my job, I've been around
G#sus4I invest in this mess, I'm a low cost Adumping ground
ETrouble is I'm so exausted
Bsus2The plot, you see, I think I've lost it
G#sus4I need the grace to find what can't be Afound
Chorus
I put all of the chords over the correct words,but when I submited, it put them
Just listen to the song for the chord changes. This song is done on the piano, but it sounds
with my twelve string. I pick through the chords like I would if I were playing it on 
piano. I just really wanted to sing this amazing song! So here it is, Have fun!
