[Verse 1]
Am F
In the dead of night, I'm held in a gaze
F F/E Dm C Am F
My heart has a habit of shedding light on my numerous mistakes
F F/G Am F
And they wear me down allied with the ghosts of pain that keep me awake
F F/E Dm C Am F
Oh, the past can paralyze if you ponder the paths you didn't take
[Bridge]
F F/E Dm
With the chance to go back and amend every grievance
Am
How could I resist preventing my demons
Dm
From ever existing and making a mess
Am
Of the life that I could have had
[Chorus]
F C
Would I return to you
F C
To the love I knew
Am Dm
Or would I have undone
Am Dm E7
All the good that gives misery meaning
F C
And where could you have gone
F C
The only right I had wronged
Am Dm
Lost in the chapters we changed
Am Dm E
Oh, despite all my skeletons, I see
Am Am Am Am Am Am
All is as all should be
Am G#m (x2)
[Verse 2]
Dm Am F
Still it's hard not to imagine
G F Em Dm C F
How different our lives would be if given the chance
Dm Am F
To fix every failure, to rewrite the canon
G F Em Dm C F
What character would I be if my conscience was clean
G Am
What would become of me
[Chorus]
F C
Would I return to you
F C
To the love I knew
Am Dm
Or would I have undone
Am Dm E7
All the good that gives misery meaning
F C
And where could you have gone
F C
The only right I had wronged
Am Dm
Lost in the chapters we changed
Am Dm E Am
Oh, despite all my skeletons, you see me
[Bridge]
