Am       G              F             C  G/B
In my defence all my intentions were good
Am                  G
And heaven knows a place somewhere for the
 F        G
misunderstood
      Dm                C                F   G
You know I'd give you blood if it'd be enough

Am             G                  F         C   G/B
Devil's on my doorstep since the day I was born
Am                   G             F         G
It's hard to find a sunset in the eye of a storm
             Dm         C                  F
But I'm a dreamer by design and I know in time
                  G   G7
We'll put this behind

Chorus:
C             G/B        Am            G7
For what it's worth I'm sorry for the hurt
             F              C/E             Dm
I'll be the first to say, I made my own mistakes
C             G/B      Am               G7
For what it's worth I know it's just a word
             D/F#
And words betray
 C
Sometimes we lose our way
Am             G   F C
For what it's worth

Behind the lens is a poison picture you paint
And let's not pretend you were ever searching
for saints
'Cause I've been crucified for just being alive
Somewhere in the crossfire of this whispering war
Seems that I've forgot just what I was fighting for
But underneath my skin there's a fire within
Still burning

Chorus

D7                  Fm             C     G/B
The first bird to fly gets all the arrows
D7                     Fm                 C     G/B
Let's leave the past behind with all our sorrows
D7                      Fm
I'll build a bridge between us and I'll
 C      G/B  Am G D F G
swallow my pride

Chorus
