Introduction: E D5 G5 Em D5 G5 Em D5 G5 Em
D Em Bm D
I've spent too much of my life defending my past
D Em Bm D
Can't find power in truth when it never lasts
D Em Bm D
Never said I was a hero, just I been miscast
D Em Bm D
Throughout all of the stress of being accused
D Em Bm D
My defenses replaced the love that we knew
D Em Bm D
I never got the chance just to miss you
D5 G5
I'd go through it again, I would embrace the pain
A5 F#5 G5
If it gave me the chance for just one glance
A5 F#5 G5
Of you in my arms to hold in my dreams
D5
It's too hard to ever let you go
G5 A5
I may be alone now but I'll always know
F#5 G5
You'll never be gone just as long as I keep
A5 F#5 G5 A5
What memories we made when we were in love
D5 Em Bm D
I'd give into the lie to keep your memory alive
D5 Em Bm D
I know tryin' to forget you's my only crime
D5 Em Bm D
I never want to be right I just want to say goodbye
D5
So take my sight, the wind in my hair
G5 A5
Take my touch, I know she's still there
F#5 G5
In songs of birds just as long as they're words
A5 F#5 G5
I remember her taste, the sun on my face
D5
So strip me away, I don't want to be real
G5 A5
I want to float through this peace that I feel
F#5 G5
The memories stay like a seed in the rain
A5 F#5 G5
I'll nurture our love and live through it again
Bm Dbm
She's alive in my head so I'll live there instead
D5
And remember our love
D
(Do all words can do, David I still love you
D
I want you to grow but never let me go
D
I'll be a seed in your heart
D
I'll be with you when you start
D
To turn and hum again
D
I'll be a part of your love
D
Your life will sprout like a tree
D
And all the leaves will be me
D5
And all the fruit will glow just to let you know
D5
That I loved you the best, now I can rest)
D5 A5
I felt your hair on my chest as your heart came to rest
G/B A/C#
It's tempo tied to the spin of the world I lived in
D5 A5
Maybe I won't say goodbye, pretend you never died
G/B A/C#
But I couldn't live in a world I didn't forgive
D5 A5
You know if I could, I'd carve myself out of wood
G/B A/C#
Paint over my scars and wish upon a star
D5 A5
I watched that sun as it drowned and rise again from the ground
G/B A/C#
In its perennial grace I see your shining face
D5 A5
Now that you've gone away, I can finally say
G/B A/C#
That if you were here today I'd love you the same way
D5 A5
It all happened before and it'll happen again
G/B A/C#
When you realize the end is the same place you began
D5 A5
I rest my case on my heart, I'm sick of playing the part
G/B A/C#
I don't want to be right, just one more night
D5 A5
I don't want to be right, just one more night
G/B A/C#
I don't want to be right, just one more night
D
I don't want to be right, just one more night
