INTRO: D--G---D---G
D G D G
Just when I thought I had handled solace
D G D G
I could soften my guard behind false confidence
D G D G
Just when I felt humbled by insipid
D G D G
Except from this blind-side and from reading a script
D G D G
Cause I am seduced by reaction and under the influence
D G D G D
I'm slipping again I'm up to my tricks off my wagon
G A G
I have no defense I'm reaking havoc
A G D
wreaking havoc in consequence
D G D G
I get reduced by my own willfulness as
D G D G
I reach for my usual god replacements
D G D G
Cause I wish for sanction it lacks in my steps
[CHORUS]
Bm--G--Bm--G
Bm G Bm
Forgiveness is understanding that
G A G
Affirming a compact for the millionth time
A G D
On this tumbling house of cards of mine
I am beaten by my impulsiveness
By this uncanny foreshadowing of regret
Cause I'm repulsed by restriction at least that's my excuse
[CHORUS 2x]
