D				
Done so many things wrong
	                  A
I don't know if I can do right
Oh I, Oh I've			
D
Done so many things wrong
                          A
I don't know if I can do right

A
At this point in my life
D
I've done so many things wrong
F#m                    D
I don't know if I can do right
A
If you put your trust in me
D
I hope I won't let you down
F#m                    D
If you give me a chance I'll try

                     F#m     D A
You see it's been a hard road
               E
The road I'm traveling on
          F#m          D A
And if I take your hand
                           E
I might lead you down the path to ruin
           F#m      D A
I've had a hard life
                      F#m
I'm just saying it so you'll understand
      D
That right now, right now
     E
I'm doing the best I can

Chorus:
A
At this point in my life

At this point in my life
Although I've mostly walked in the shadows
I'm still searching for the light
Won't you put your faith in me
We both know that's what matters
If you give me a chance I'll try

You see I've been climbing stairs
But mostly stumbling down
I've been reaching high
Always losing ground
You see I've conquered hills
But I still have mountains to climb
And right now, right now
I'm doing the best I can

Chorus:
At this point in my life

A
Before we take a step
Before we walk down that path
D
Before I make any promises
Before you have regrets
F#m
Before we talk commitment
Let me tell you of my past
D
All I've seen and all I've done
      E
The things I'd like to forget

Chorus:
At this point in my life

At this point in my life
I'd like to live as if only love mattered
As if redemption was in sight
As if the search to live honestly
Is all that anyone needs
No matter if you find it

You see when I've touched the sky
The earth's gravity has pulled me down
But now I've reconciled that in this world
Birds and angels get the wings to fly
If you can believe in this heart of mine
If you can give it a try
Then I'll reach inside and find and give you
All the sweetness that I have

Chorus:
At this point in my life

At this point in my life
