[Verse]
 G
She said I'm not pointing fingers
D/F#
He said yes you are
 Em7 D C
Cause you wouldn't bring it up if you weren't
 G
If I told you I'd been walking
 D/F#
Out in the dark night thinking
 Em7 D C
Would you take as truth this alcoholic's word
D
I can't change what's done is done
But I can tell you this
 Em7 D
Not a day goes by that I
 C
Don't curse my self and all my sins
 G
And I need you to hold on to
 D
While this part of me is dying
 Em7 D
And though I haven't kicked the demons
 C Bm C G D
That haunt me, I'm try ing
 C G
I'm try ing

 G
She sat down on the floor
 D/F#
And said I wish I was stronger
 Em7 D C
Right now I feel as fragile as glass
 G
I want to believe you
 D/F#
Believe what's held you has freed you
 Em7 D C
And I hate these doubts that keep on coming back
 D
My parent's think I'm crazy
For staying here this long
 Em7 D
But there's nothing more I want for us
 C
Than to prove to them they're wrong
 G
I don't want to be afraid
 D
I don't want to think you're lying
 Em7 D
And though I haven't found the faith
 C Bm C G D
That I need, I'm try ing
 C G
I'm try ing

 C D C D Em7
He asked do you want me to leave
 C D
Cause if you do you know I will
 C D C D Em7
But she said much to his dis be lief
C D
Nooo I love you still

 G
He said I don't know why I've been the fool
 D/F#
But I can tell you this
 Em7 D
Not a day goes by that I
 C
Don't curse my self and all my sins
 G
Then he dropped down to his knees
 D
By now they both were crying
 Em7 D
He said I haven't been the man
 C Bm C G D
I want to be, but I'm try ing
 C G
I'm try ing
 Bm C G D
I'm try ing
 C G
Oh I'm try ing
