[Intro]
C#m  E  B  F#  2x


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


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


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


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


[Bridge]
B  F#  C#m                     B  F#  C#m
        Why must I feel this way
                   B  F#  C#m
Just make this go away
                       B   F#  C#m~
Just one more peaceful day


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


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


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