NOTE: This is not the version from The Bittersweet album. I'm not sure what LP or
EP this version is from, but I think it's better than The Bittersweet version. He
does it in Drop D, but I do this in standard tuning. It's up to you!
Dm C F
I would have given my world to see
C F C
You deliver the jailer's key
Bb F
I'd give you the credit
C
And take what went wrong
Dm C F
I would have given most anything
C F C
To see your lips move but hear me singing
Bb F
If you had opened your mouth
C
And spit out my song
Dm C F
Lover you're forgiven
F C F
You have suffered for long enough
F C
They're holding their breath
F Bb
And I'm calling their bluff
F C F
Our love is strong enough
F C Dm C F
Our love is strong enough
Dm C F
If there were ever a movie made
C F C
That outlines my life in some honest way
Bb F C
Line for line note for note and page by page
Dm C F
I'd hope that who ever played your part
C F C
Would feel my remorseful and heavy heart
Bb F C
They would open their mouth and unyieldingly say
Dm C F
Lover you're forgiven
F C F
You have suffered for long enough
F C
They're holding their breath
F Bb
And I'm calling their bluff
F C F
Our love is strong enough
F C Dm C F
Our love is strong enough
Am E C
Instead you held the key over my head
D
And just out of reach
F C
Till any love that used to be
F C
Got wasted on the need for me
F C
To feel as though I could be free
F C
'Cause I'm not your asshole I'm not your thief
F Am6/F# G
I thank the lord that I finally was released
Am G C
Lover you're forgiven
Am G C
We've both suffered for long enough
F G
They all held their breath
Am F
But we couldn't call their bluff
F G C
'Cause our love wasn't strong enough
F G C
Our love wasn't strong enough
F G C
Our love wasn't strong enough
