[Intro]

[Verse 1]

I can't lie

It's hard to hear

After all we've shared

After all these years

I don't know

What I'm supposedto say

What I'm supposed to feel

Seeing you this way

[Chorus]

G Bm

I wish I held the answers

A G

To all the questions in your mind

G Bm

Wish I could say it will get better

A G

But I can't look at you and lie

G Bm

I know I've had my share of troubles

A G

So who am I to give advice

G Bm

But if you ain't felt forgiveness

A G

Seems like now's the time

[Verse 2]

There was a time

You could've called

and I would've dropped everything

to break your fall

But times change,

like people do

And any times we had

they've long been through

[Chorus]

G Bm

I wish I held the answers

A G

To all the questions in your mind

G Bm

Wish I could say it will get better

A G

But I can't look at you and lie

G Bm

I know I've had my share of troubles

A G

So who am I to give advice

G Bm

But if you ain't felt forgiveness

A G

Seems like now's the time

[Bridge]

G D A

I'll (say a prayer for you)

G D A

I'll (that's the best I can do)

G D A G

I'll (smile and say goodbye)

[Outro]

I can't lie

It's hard to hear

After all we've shared

After all these years
