[Verse 1]
 
F#               C#
I was away for a while
        Bbm                   B
But I'm hoping someday you'll forgive me
            F#          C#
But I don't deserve it
     Bbm                    B
I'll cherish it well if you give me
                F#
One of your new starts
              C#
Just one more last chance
                  Bbm
I swear that I'll earn it
                    B
If you front me for now
                F#     C#
I'm good for it I swear
               Bbm    B
I'm better now I swear

[Chorus]
 
   F#
In earlier days
       Emaj7913
They'd persecute people
       Ebm
They'd carry them off
    C#
And hobble their legs
    F#
For lesser offences
     Emaj7913
Than how I have harmed you
    Ebm
But still you allow me
   C#           B
To walk free of pain
         F#
Though I punish myself
  Emaj7913
I will never settle
    B
The debts I've incurred
    Bb
For scorning the face
   F#
Of absolute beauty
    Emaj7913
And measureless grace
    B
And though I once mocked you
    Bm                  F# Emaj7913 B
I'm dying to pay for it now.
    Bbm                 F# Emaj7913 B Bm
I'm dying to pay for it now.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
   F#
So hand me the rocks
   C#
To help weigh me down
    F#                    Ebm          C#
And tether my legs with a cord tightly bound to the
F#
End of an anchor
       C#
Thrown in to the sound
    F#
And test me to see
   Ebm    C#
If I will rise
 B
Against
    Ebm
The worst
     C#
That it
    G
Can get.

[Verse 2]
 
F#                  C#
I wasn't well for a while
  Bbm                     B
I savor the things that I knew
                     F#
Were sure to destroy me
                   C#
And that seemed to hold me
               Bbm                       B
That seemed to carry me where I couldn't go
                      F#
On the strength of my own
                C#   Bbm B
But I should've known
                  F#    C#
That that gets me nowhere
                      Bbm  B
I've learned that now I swear

Well I wasn't sure that I could

Well I wasn't sure that I could
      F#
But I can.
