[Verse 1]
C
Saw you there in the bottom
F
Of an old empty bottle
C G
Again and again
F C Am
Hold back the truth and let the heart ache in
G F C
Forgive me mother, fore I have sinned.
[Verse 2]
C F
Cold old house that once was our home
C G
It ain't the same since you've been gone
F C Am
But I close my eyes and there you are
G F C
Forgive me mother, fore I bare the scars.
[Chorus]
F Am
From broken glass, stuck in my hands
F Am G
On my knees, 'cause it's more than I can stand
C F
To wake up, break of day
Am G
knowing nothing is okay.
C F
I will smile and pretend
Am G
When I go to see my friends
C F
That I'm alright, that I've moved on
Am G
I'm not stuck here in a song
F G C
That I wrote - about you - about you.
[Verse 3]
C F
Now I've spent my time on a straight and narrow
C G
But I'm bare-ly holding on
F
I'll rise with the morn
C G Am
I'm your wayfaring son
G F C
Forgive me mother, for what I have done.
[Chorus]
F Am
'Cause I can't calm these shaking hands
F Am G
On my knees, 'cause it's more than I can stand
C F
To wake up, break of day
Am G
knowing nothing is okay.
C F
I will smile and pretend
Am G
When I go to see my friends
C F
That I'm alright, I've moved on
Am G
I'm not lost here on my own
F G C
Without you - without you.
[Chorus]
F
Break of day
Am G
Knowing nothing is okay.
C F
I will smile and pretend
Am G
When I go to see my friends
C F
That I'm allright, I've moved on
Am G
I'm not lost here in a song
F G C
About you - about you.
