F               Am           A#
We're giving it all away for nothing
F       Am               A#
Such a foolish thing to do
F       Am                     A#
Always looking for that extra something
F       Am            A#
When my everything is you
          Dm                 F         A#   C
There's a fear that burns a fire in my soul
         Dm                  F                A#
When I'm face to face with things I can't control

Chorus:
               F
This is my confession
                    C
My deepest darkest secret
                          Dm
I've been acting like my demons
                            A#
Doing things I thought I'd never do
                     F
So I'm asking for redemption
                   Dm
I'm asking for forgiveness
                      Am
All these things I've  done to you
                         A# Am Gm
Things I thought I would never do
C                     F     Am A# F Am A#
Things I thought I'd never do

Is it too late to say I'm sorry?
Well, I'll say it anyway
I wrote the ending to our story
I played with love but lost the game
And now it's easier to say what's on my mind
Then to carry on with all these lies

Chorus

             F                A#  C
Hiding the truth for way too long
Dm          F               A#                C
Maybe I'm crazy pouring my heart out in a song
Dm             F                            A#
But I gotta scream it out at the top of my lungs
      F/A    Gm7        C
"Baby I was wrong, so wrong!"

Chorus:
This is my confession
My deep and darkest secrets
I've been acting like my demons
Doing things I thought I'd never do
So I'm asking for redemption
I'm asking for forgiveness
All these things I've done to you
Things I thought I would never do
Things I thought I'd never do
