[Intro 1]
[F][Em][Am][Dm][G][Gsus4]
[G][Am]
[F]I ain't gonna lie

[Verse 1]
[G]
I can't even count [Am]the days
[F]Or the many nights [G]I tried living here [Am]alone
A [F]heart full [G]of pride
Couldn't see the [Am]enemy [F]was me
I [G]was blind and thought my
second chance was gone
[Am]A sh[F]ip without a sai[Dm]l[G]
Battered by the raging [Am]sea
[F]Taking any love [G]I can to try
and stop the [Am]rain
While [F]waiting to [Dm]ex ha[G]le
I finally got on [Am]my knees
I [F]know it's been a long [G]time
Do you still remember [F]my name?

[Verse 2]
Can I go back [F]in time?[G]
Can I have another try?
[F]But I can't change yester[Dm] day[C]
[Bb][Cho[Am]rus]

[Verse 3]
Oh I
Can't [F]take another day
without [G]you
Cause this heart don't beat the
same [Am]without you
I for[F]got who I was
Got [G]caught up in this world
Jesus I apolo[Am]gize
I [F]should've lost my mind [G]without you
Not another sleepless night
without [C]you Jesus
I'm [F]sorry and I'm asking [G]please
Make [Em]us how we[Am][F]
used to [Am]be[G][Am]
I try and try to keep my [F]mind on you But

[Verse 4]
[G]
trouble keeps calling [Am]me
[F]Every time a wound heals
[G]Something else takes the healing awa[Am]y
But [F]even when I've gone too [G]far
You don't even [Am]call my name
Mama said if you [F]love let it go
[G]And if it comes back then
it's back [F]to stay
You [G]already knew I belong to only you
[F]I run to your arms and say[Dm][C][Bb][Am]

Never knew a life so [Am]cold
Thought that things could fulfill my soul
[Dm]Tried to find love on my [Am]own
It was hard to admit I was wrong

no games my [G#dim]life is take[E]n[Am]
Now we've [F]come to the break
