CAPO 1st Fret

G                    Am
Okay so I was wrong about
                          D
My reasons for us fallin out
                            G
Of love I want to fall back in

G                          Am
My life is different now I swear
                            D
I know now what it means to care
                            G
About somebody other than myself

G                           Am
I know the things I said to you
                          D
They were un-tender and untrue
                             G
Id like to see those things undo

G                               Am
So if you could find it in your heart
                       D
To give a man a second start
                               G
I promise things wont end the same

G                   C
Shame, boatloads of shame
          Am               D
Day after day, more of the same
G                     C
Blame, please lift it off
               Am                  D
Please take it off, please make it stop

G                       Am
Okay so I have read the mail
                         D
The stories people often tell
                       G
About us that we never knew

G                              Am
But their existence will float away
                              D
And just like every word they say
                               G
And we will hold hands as they fade

G                   C
Shame, boatloads of shame
          Am               D
Day after day, more of the same
G                     C
Blame, please lift it off
               Am                  D
Please take it off, please make it stop

BRIDGE
C                      Bm
I felt so sure of everything
                       Em
My love to you so well received
                                A
And I just strutted around your town
                         C
Knowing I didnt let you down
                                 Bm
The truth be known, the truth be told
                           Em
My heart was always fairly cold
                        A
Posing to be as warm as yours
                          C
My way of getting in your world
                             Bm
But now Im out and Ive had time
                    
To look around and think
    Am 
And sink into another world
       D               
Thats filled with guilt and overwhelming

G                   C
Shame, boatloads of shame
          Am               D
Day after day, more of the same
G                     C
Blame, please lift it off
               Am                  D
Please take it off, please make it stop

G                        Am
And everyone they have a heart
                             D
And when they break and fall apart
                            G
And need somebodys helping hand

G                          Am
I used to say just let em fall
                         D
It wouldnt bother me at all
                           G
I couldnt help them now I can
