Intro
G D C G D C
X4
G D C G D C
A train pulls in off the street
G D C G D C
Soft and low like a mother's heartbeat
G D C G D C
I've been trying to get my mind off me
G D C G D C
But I'm more self conscious than I've ever been
G D C
By the time
G D C
You get this
G D C
I'll be long gone
G D C
God's my witness
G D C G D C
It's all there in black and white
It's just the story of my life
Well, you get it or you don't
You're the only one I've ever told
G D C
By the time
G D C
You get this
G D C
I'll be long gone
G D C
God's my witness
G D C
And it's hard
G D C
To keep living
G D C
When I know I'm,
G D C
not forgiven
Still it comes, still it comes
There's nothing else I could've done
Not with the cards they've given me
Do you think you'll ever forgive me?
By the time
You get this
I'll be long gone
God's my witness
It's so hard
to keep living
when I know I'm
not forgiven
Hey
I'm forgiven
I'm forgiven
I'm forgiven
I'm forgiven
