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?
