           G                 C               D
Please forget the words that I just blurted out
           G              C                  D
It wasn't me it was my strange and creeping doubt
         Em
It keeps rattling my cage
                                                C
and there's nothing in this world will keep it down

Chorus:
G           C                  Em     Am
Even though I might even though I try I can't
Even though I might even though I try I can't

So many things that keep, that keep me underground
So many words that I, that I can never find
If you give up on me now
I'll be gutted like I've never been before

Chorus

If you give up on me now
I'll be gutted like I've never been before
