Bm Em7 A D
How have I come to this? How did I slip and fall?
Gmaj7/B A | D * * G/D | D A7/C# |
How did I throw half a lifetime away without any thought at all?
Bm Em7 A D
This should've been my time. It's over, it never began.
Gmaj7/B A | D * * G/D | D A7/C# |
Facing a world, for once not on my side - I simply turned and ran.
| C/E D7/F# | G | A7/G F#m
I try to blame it on fortune. Some kind of twist in the stars.

But I know the truth and it haunts me. I learned it a little too late.

I know the truth and it mocks me. I know the truth and it shocks me.

I promise whoever has a hold on our lives I'll see the bad times thru.
