Intro: Asus Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Am7/D Asus Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Am7/D 
 
Asus                  Cmaj7        Gmaj7  Am7/D 
And it's been a while since I could   hold my head up high 
 
Asus               Cmaj7             Gmaj7   Am7/D 
And it's been a while since I first saw you. 
 
Asus                Cmaj7               Gmaj7       Am7/D 
And it's been a while since I could stand on my own two  
 
feet again 
 
Asus                 Cmaj7         Gmaj7     Am7/D 
And it's been a while since I could call you 
 
Am            C            G     D7 
And everything I can't remember, 
 
Am             C             G   D7 
as f***ed up as it all may seem, 
 
Am           C                G      D7 
the consequences that I've rendered, 
 
Am              C             G     D7 
I streched myself beyond my means. 
 
Asus                Cmaj7           Gmaj7         Am7/D 
And it's been a while since I could say that I wasn't  
 
addicted. 
 
Asus                 Cmaj7         Gmaj7           Am7/D 
And it's been a while since I could say I loved myself as  
 
well. 
 
Asus                Cmaj7                 Gmaj7 
And it's been a while since I've gone and f***ed things up  
       Am7/D 
just like I always do. 
 
Asus                 Cmaj7              Gmaj7          Am7/D 
And it's been a while, but all that sh** seems to disappear 
 
when I'm with you. 
 
Am           C            G     D7 
And everything I can't remember, 
 
Am           C              G    D7 
as f***ed up as it all may seem, 
 
Am            C                G    D7 
the consequences that I've rendered, 
 
Am                C             G   D7 
I've gone and f***ed things up again. 
 
G D7 Am                     G   D7 
      Why must I feel this way? 
 
Am                  G   D7 
Just make this go away. 
 
Am                      G  D7  Am 
Just one more peaceful day. 
 
Asus                Cmaj7        Gmaj7  Am7/D 
And it's been a while since I could look at myself straight. 
 
Asus                Cmaj7              Gmaj7   Am7/D 
And it's been a while since I said I'm sorry. 
 
Asus               Cmaj7                   Gamj7     Am7/D 
And it's been a while since I've seen the way the candles  
 
light your face. 
 
Asus                Cmaj7          Gmaj7           Am7/D  
And it's been a while, but I can still remember just the  
 
way you taste. 
 
Am         C               G    D7 
And everything I can't remember, 
 
Am             C            G         D7 
As f***ed up as it all may seem to be, I know it's me. 
 
Am         C                 G    D7 
I cannot blame this on my father. 
 
Am          C                G   D7 
He did the best he could for me. 
 
Asus                Cmaj7        Cmaj7  Am7/D 
And it's been a-while since I could hold my head up high. 
 
Asus                Cmaj7                Gmaj7(let ring)   
And it's been a while since I said I'm sorry. 
 
*You can also end on G 
 
That's it! Easy chords and not too hard of a song.  Enjoy!
