C                G7       C
I came close  so close to failure
                G7      C
I came close to living alone
           F                            C
I know the kids still love me and their mommy
                       G7        C
But I came so close to losing my home
  F                                  C
I felt small enough to drown in each teardrop
    D7                        G7
But big enough to admit I was wrong
     F                        C
When I think of what I done a chill goes through me 
                       G7        C
But I came so close to losing my home
  F                                  C
I felt small enough to drown in each teardrop 
    D7                        G7
But big enough to admit I was wrong
     F                        C
When I think of what I done a chill goes through me 
                       G7        C
But I came so close to losing my home
                   G7        C
I came so close to losing my home
