Intro DDGD DDGD

          D                                   G                  D
She said, "There are things about you I don't really understand."
     Bm                             G            D
I am drinking in the afternoon, got whiskey on my breath.
        D                                       G               D
And as I walk through Greenwich Village, with a suitcase full of clothes,
     Bm                           G              D
I am blinded by the afternoon and unsure where to go.
     Bm                           G              D
I am blinded by the afternoon and unsure where to go.


         G                                  Bm
Will you come for me on days like this when I am broken down?
                 G                                Bm
'Cause I've been strangled by an emptiness that's still choking me now.
       G                                Bm    A       G
I have prayed for absolution that won't ever come around,
          Bm                 A?                       D
So if you love me, won't you please forgive me now?


       D                                G            D
Then I try to call my mother, but she's not around to talk,
     Bm                             G            D
So I wander through the fading day, oblivious and lost.
      D                               G                       D
Yes I know I'm getting older, chasing time that slips away.
         Bm                                      G            D
Point my headlights towards the interstate, it's time for my escape.
         Bm                                      G            D
Point my headlights towards the interstate, it's time for my escape.

     G                                     Bm
I am sorry for the things I've done; don't try to let you down.
      G                                          Bm
In my dreams at night I hear your voice, and I'm shaken by the sound.
        G                           Bm          A      G
Now I'm stranded in Los Angeles and you're all I think about.
          Bm                 A?                       D
So if you love me, won't you please forgive me now?


                 G                   D
I hope there's a million stars above you,
         G                         D
And everything you need, I hope it finds you.
      G                                 D
Every breath you breathe, hope it comes easy,
            A
I hope it's easy.


           D                         G             D
I've got a picture in my wallet of a girl I used to know,
     Bm                             G                       D
And another of my family, it's been too long since I've been home.
        D                                  G           D
Now I'm waiting on a train. Where I'll end up, God only knows.
      Bm                                  G               D
Maybe I'll make my way back to her, but I guess I probably won't.
      Bm                                  G               D
Maybe I'll make my way back to her, but I guess I probably won't.


        G                               Bm
You are somewhere far away from me; I'm here all by myself.
            G                            Bm
Through the space between the two of us, wish I had something else.
           G                               Bm      A           G
'Cause I'd surrender up most anything if I thought it'd help somehow.
          Bm                 A                D
So if you love me, won't you please forgive me now?
       Bm                 A                D
If you love me, won't you please forgive me now?
