[Intro]
Cm  D#  A#  F  2x


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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