[Intro 1]
[G][Em]
[G][Em]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]In 1999 when I
was first led into [Em]sin
Cranked up and hit the road,
to grind some gears [G]again
Breakneck and reckless I had
a trail to blaze [Em]ahead
No count and cost or who I might
have left for [C]dead
Went looking for a [D]river of gold when my
ho[Em]metown was catching on [G]fire[C]
Left everyone I [D]love in the smoke while
I got [Em]lost becoming a li[G]ar[C]
Now I'm up[D]stream,
I'm [G]getting tired

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em][G]

[Verse 2]
And all those [G]birthdays when
I just forgot to [Em]call
Heads were rolling I was a
poster on the [G]wall
I'm not sure what it was hanging
'round my [Em]neck
I'm certain it had plans to
take what it could [C]get
Went searching for the [D]Hollywood sound
and my [Em]old friends were
cursing my [G]name[C]
I thought if I could [D]burn out the sun
every[Em]one would be with
me in [G]the shade[C]
Wrong as I [D]was, I [C]wouldn't change

[Interlude 2]
[Em][G]
[C][Em][G][C][Em]
[G][C][Em][G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
And all those [G]birthdays when
I just forgot to [C]call
I'm sitting on [D]a mountain of guilt
that I fi[Em]nally started
chipping [G]away[C]
Here hoping you [D]could try to absolve
all [Em]the years that I was
playing [G]the game[C]
I think I'm turning [D]homeward again
and I'm pray[Em]ing you
will open the gates
[G]

[Verse 4]
[C]
Will you let me in[D], let m[G]e stay?
