C                       F                   C    Am
Well I'm sorry for the time that I’ve been taking
         F                C    F C
And the lines that I’ve crossed
     F                   C
The mess that I’ve been making
Dm                         G7
And for everything you’ve lost
F    G7                    C
The heart that I’ve been breaking
E7                      Am G7
For the damage and the cost
F              G7
Oh forgive me darling
                 C  F C
I am helplessly lost

I'm sorry for the stories that I told you
And the lies that I spoke
The future that I sold you
And the promises I broke
For the love that I’ve been taking
Warmed with nothing but the frost
Oh forgive me darling
I am helplessly lost

G7                     F
How many deals will I make
                          Am
With the devil what’s it take
                      G7
For a foolish man to learn
G7                     F
How many years will I go
                       Am
Setting fire to all I know
                        Em
Just to watch the city burn
       Dm
Oh my dear we’ve reached a river we can’t cross
F                          G7         C
So leave me here for I am helplessly lost
