[Verse]
G
She said I'm not pointing fingers
D/F#
He said yes you are
Em7 D C
Cause you wouldn't bring it up if you weren't
G
If I told you I'd been walking
D/F#
Out in the dark night thinking
Em7 D C
Would you take as truth this alcoholic's word
D
I can't change what's done is done
But I can tell you this
Em7 D
Not a day goes by that I
C
Don't curse my self and all my sins
G
And I need you to hold on to
D
While this part of me is dying
Em7 D
And though I haven't kicked the demons
C Bm C G D
That haunt me, I'm try ing
C G
I'm try ing
G
She sat down on the floor
D/F#
And said I wish I was stronger
Em7 D C
Right now I feel as fragile as glass
G
I want to believe you
D/F#
Believe what's held you has freed you
Em7 D C
And I hate these doubts that keep on coming back
D
My parent's think I'm crazy
For staying here this long
Em7 D
But there's nothing more I want for us
C
Than to prove to them they're wrong
G
I don't want to be afraid
D
I don't want to think you're lying
Em7 D
And though I haven't found the faith
C Bm C G D
That I need, I'm try ing
C G
I'm try ing
C D C D Em7
He asked do you want me to leave
C D
Cause if you do you know I will
C D C D Em7
But she said much to his dis be lief
C D
Nooo I love you still
G
He said I don't know why I've been the fool
D/F#
But I can tell you this
Em7 D
Not a day goes by that I
C
Don't curse my self and all my sins
G
Then he dropped down to his knees
D
By now they both were crying
Em7 D
He said I haven't been the man
C Bm C G D
I want to be, but I'm try ing
C G
I'm try ing
Bm C G D
I'm try ing
C G
Oh I'm try ing
