Tom: Fm

D / Em           C                Em
      Promises held your head so high
               C                    Em
Worthless were words from lips that lie
         C                Em                    D                      Em / C
I can’t change it, I can’t blame you, all these mistakes have cost me years

[Bridge]

Em / C


[Verse 2]
Em                C                  Em
   Sometimes the branches break the fall
             C                Em
Sometimes we hit the ground and crawl
        C                Em
I can’t get up, don’t be patient
                 D             G
You should move on and leave me here



[Chorus]
              C         G             D
But if you’re all that I have would you still walk home with me?
     C          G         D
If I promise to stay out of everything that got us here
       C            G
I will search deep inside
Em              D                C     G
I will find the strength to carry you away
D
 Away


[Bridge]

Em / C x3
D x3

[Verse 3]
Em               C            Em
   Silent and distant on the ride
             C                Em
Helpless and broken makes you try
          C              Em                      D                 Em
I can't change it, I can't blame you all these mistakes have cost me years



[Outro]
        C                   Em                    D                G
I can't change it, I can't blame you all these mistakes have cost me years
