Dm      C            Gm
Twenty miles from anyone
Dm      C             Gm
Set my sights on the setting sun
Dm      C               Gm
Heaven talks but not to me
Dm             C                 Gm
Cause heaven knows that nothing good comes free

Chorus:
Dm   C          Gm
Desolation tragedy
A#                        F
Is there nothing good in me
F                        A#
Is there nothing good in me
A#                        F
Is there nothing good in me
F         A              Dm
Is there nothing good in me

Dm    C      Gm
I've let me down down down down
I've let me down down down down

Petty lies to everyone
In the hopes that I could be someone
Heaven talks, but not to me
And now I wonder if it's meant to be

Chorus

I've let me down, down, down, down
I've let me down, down, down, down
I've let me down, down, down, down
I've let me down, down, down, down

A#
But I'll take your word
A#              C
Cause after all you've never lied
Gm
Oh not at all
A#
But look at me
F
Oh what a mess
C                       Gm
I get caught up in the things
                 A#
that matter the least
A#  F      A      Dm
Oh let me have release

I've let me down, down, down, down
I've let me down, down, down, down
I've let me down, down, down, down
I've let me down, down, down, down
