Verse
   Db                       F#
I fought against the bottle 
      Ab            Db   F#  Ab
but I had to do it drunk
        Db                      F#
Took my diamond to the pawnshop 
    Ab                 Db   F# Ab
but that don't make it junk
   Db                   F#
I know that I'm forgiven 
      Ab               Db   F# Ab
but I don't know how I know
        Db                   F# 
I don't trust my inner feelings,
      Ab                Db  F# Ab 
inner feelings come and go


Chorus

             F#        Ab      Bbm
How come you called me here tonight?
                 F#             Ab       Bbm   Eb
And how come you bother with my heart at all?
You raise me up in grace
                     Ab
Then you put me in a place where I must fall

Verse
    Db                       F#
Too late to fix another drink 
    Ab               Db  F# Ab
the lights are goin' out
          Db                         F#
I'll just listen to the darkness sing, 
  Ab                Db   F# Ab
I know what that's about


Bbm     Ab               Db
     I tried to love you my way
Bbm        Ab               Db
     but I couldn't make it hold
Bbm        Ab               F#
    So I closed the book of longing
                   Ab 
and I do what I am told


Chorus

             F#        Ab      Bbm
How come you called me here tonight?
                 F#             Ab       Bbm   Eb
And how come you bother with my heart at all?
You raise me up in grace
                     Ab
Then you put me in a place where I must fall


Verse

   Db                       F#
I fought against the bottle 
      Ab            Db   F#  Ab
but I had to do it drunk
        Db                      F#
Took my diamond to the pawnshop 
    Ab                 Db   F# 
but that don't make it junk
Ab                 Db   F#
That don't make it junk, 
Ab                 Db
that don't make it junk
