[Intro]
Dm  F  C  G  2x


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


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


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


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


[Bridge]
C  G  Dm                     C  G  Dm
        Why must I feel this way
                   C  G  Dm
Just make this go away
                       C   G  Dm~
Just one more peaceful day


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


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


[Outro]
Dm              F             C
It’s been awhile since I could
G               Dm
hold my head up high
Dm              F                 C~
It’s been awhile since I said I’m sorry
