[Intro]
Em  G  D  A  2x


[Verse]
Em              G             D
It’s been awhile since I could
A               Em
hold my head up high
                G              D       A  Em
It’s been awhile since I first saw you
               G               D           A
It’s been awhile since I could stand on my own
          Em
two feet again
                G              D        A  Em
It’s been awhile since I could call you


[Chorus]
Em       G               D     A  Em
And everything I can't remember
             G             D   A  Em
As fucked up as it all may seem
         G                 D       A  Em
The consequences that I've rendered
              G              D    A  Em
I stretched myself beyond my means


[Verse]
Em              G                 D
It’s been awhile since I couldn't say
       A                 Em
that I wasn't addicted
                G                 D
It’s been awhile since I couldn't say
         A                Em
I love myself as well as
                G                    D
It’s been awhile since I've gone and fucked things up
     A                Em
just like I always do
                G             D                 A
It’s been awhile but all that shit seems to disappear
                   Em
when I’m with you


[Chorus]
(Em)     G               D     A  Em
And everything I can't remember
             G             D   A  Em
As fucked up as it all may seem
         G                 D       A  Em
The consequences that I've rendered
Em            G                D          A
I’ve gone and fucked things up again, yeah


[Bridge]
D  A  Em                     D  A  Em
        Why must I feel this way
                   D  A  Em
Just make this go away
                       D   A  Em~
Just one more peaceful day


[Verse]
Em              G             D
It’s been awhile since I could
A              Em
look at myself straight
                G                D     A   Em
It’s been awhile since I said im sorry
                G
It’s been awhile since
              D   A                  Em
I’ve seen the way candles light your face
                G          D
It’s been awhile but I can still remember
A                Em
just the way you taste


[Chorus]
Em         G             D     A  Em
And everything I can't remember
Em           G             D       A              Em
As fucked up as it all may seem to be I know it’s me
Em       G                D     A  Em
I cannot blame this on my father
Em         G                 D  A  Em
He did the best he could for me


[Outro]
Em              G             D
It’s been awhile since I could
A               Em
hold my head up high
Em              G                 D~
It’s been awhile since I said I’m sorry
