A#m       G#
I know I took the path
      C#             F#
That you would never want for me
A#m      G#                   C#
I know I let you down, didn't I?
A#m       G#
So many sleepless nights
       C#              F#
Where you were waiting up on me
A#m              G#             C#
Well I'm just a slave unto the night

Now remember when I told you
That's the last you'll see of me
Remember when I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path
That you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years

Chorus:
   C#    F#     C#
So I, I bet my life,
   F#     C#      F#     C#     G#
I bet my life, I bet my life on you
C#    F#     C#
I, I bet my life,
   F#     C#      F#     C#      G#
I bet my life, I bet my life on you

I've been around the world
And never in my wildest dreams
Would I come runnin' home to you
I've told a million lies (I)
But now I tell a single truth (I)
There's you in everything I do (I)

Now remember when I told you
That's the last you'll see of me?
Remember when I broke you down to tears?
I know I took the path
That you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years

Chorus

D#m                     G#
Don't tell me that I'm wrong
                        A#m
I've walked that road before
     G#              C#
And left you on your own
     D#m                           G#
And please believe them when they say
                         A#m
That it's left for yesterday
                           C#
And the records that I've played
          D#m         G#        C#
Please forgive me for all I've done

Chorus
