[Verse 1]
Am C
What is there to say when it is too late?
Am C
Does that make a difference anymore?
Am C
Nothin' left but emptiness that keeps me in despair
Am C
I won’t find no closure anywhere
Am C
I won't get another chance to tell you
Am C
Again I put my thoughts under the bed
Am C
Wasted time, I wasted years, and both of us' to blame
G Am
Stubbornness’ the winner every time
G F
And you and I are the loser every time
[Chorus]
C G
'Cause you didn't want me
Am G
You didn't love me
F G
And you weren't there to help this troubled boy
Am G
From all the mess, I got myself into
C G
You weren't proud of me
C G
You were ashamed of me
F G
You couldn't look me in the eyes and say
Am G
"I'm sorry that I failed you all the way"
[Verse 2]
Am C
I once had someone I called my father
Am C
Memories are fadin’, but they are there
Am C
Oh, what I would give to walk into this room again
F G C
And have my daddy greet me with his smile
Am C
I can’t blame it all on you, I know that
Am C
Much of this is really my own fault
Am C
But if I had mattered more and you had stuck around
Am
I could have been the winner in this town
F G F G
If only you had never let me down
[Chorus]
C G
'Cause you didn't want me
Am G
You didn't love me
F G
And you weren't there to help this troubled boy
Am G
From all the mess, I got myself into
C G
You weren't proud of me
C G
You were ashamed of me
F G
You couldn't look me in the eyes and say
Am G
"I'm sorry that I failed you all the way"
[Bridge]
Am C
Now, I have a beer with my two brothers
Am C
Talkin' 'bout the years we never had
Am C
Still, no matter how I feel, I still don't understand
G Am
I wish I would have told you I forgive
F G F
Oh, I wish I could have told you that I forgive
[Chorus]
C G
That you didn't want me
Am G
You didn't love me
F G
And you weren't there to help this troubled boy
Am G
From all the mess, I got myself into
C G
You weren't proud of me
C G
You were ashamed of me
F G
You couldn't look me in the eyes and say
Am G Am
"I'm sorry that I failed you all the way"
