Verse:

G           A7sus4
open up and let me in
G                    A7sus4
i was lucky to live, dont need to win
G                    A7sus4
forgave myself and if that's a sin
      A#6             Cadd9
it's not enough you'd even know it
 G            A7sus4
you did right to call my bluff
   G          A7sus4
'cause i wont say when i've had enough
 G              A7sus4
and i worked so hard to need this stuff
 A#6                  Cadd9
and you tried so long to just ignore it


Chorus:

G D/F# Em           Cadd9  G/B  A7sus4
           wont you come   down        where i am
G D/F# Em           Cadd9  G/B A7sus4

G A7sus4 G A7sus4

Verse:
     G          A7sus4
i wont repeat myself again
     G            A7sus4
i will not repeat myself again
      G       A7sus4
it's another promise d.o.a.
      A#6            Cadd9
and despite my every hope
             A#            Cadd9
there is no truth behind my best intentioned oath


Chorus:

G D/F# Em            Cadd9 G/B  A7sus4
           won't you come       down where i am
G D/F# Em            Cadd9 G/B A7sus4
           words are hidden,    understand
G D/F# Em            Cadd9 G/B A7sus4 (hold........)
           won't you come       down
       (still holding A chord........)
           been away too long i know i have
