Chords

Tabbed by guitaristu The intro/verse: The chord shapes are slightly ambiguous so I've ended up just putting my best guess down, the odd open string might not be quite how Frank plays it. Otherwise I think it's pretty much all here. Enjoy. Capo 2 INTRO/VERSE

I was walking home to my house through the snow from the station

When Springsteen came clear in my headphones with a pertinent question Oh is love really real and can any of us hope for redemption? Or are we all merely biding our time down to the lonely conclusions Darling let me take your hand as I talk you through this How loneliness edged in to deep seated psychosis Lying awake in crowded hotel rooms focused on tape hiss And my failings laid clear on the ceiling I don’t think I can do this I don’t think I can do this BREAK

I tried so hard to not turn into my father

But if I only ever skip out his choices will I ever choose better Oh the sad truth is the grass it will always seem greener So I left you alone in a restaurant in London in winter

		Bm*
You deserve better

      Bm*
Is on my back

       A*
And in my ears

G 
The sound comes clear and brings the awful truth

That I can’t stand what I’ve done to you

Em (024000)
And  it’s written clear in my diary

Today should've been our anniversary

G 
And I’m far away and I’m far apart

And you’re back home with a broken heart

Em (024000)
And love is real and I can’t escape

		           Bsus2 
I only ever have myself to blame

      Dsus2        Asus2     Em       Dsus2      G   Bsus2
These failures shift and shape me in the night

      Dsus2         Asus2   Em   Dsus2   G     Bsus2
Like a fever I can’t break try as I might

      Dsus2         Asus2   Em     Dsus2    G         
Wake me darling I need you to take me home

    Bsus2
But I know

       Dsus2    Asus2    Em    Dsus2
In the end redemption is mine and mine alone

G* A* F#m* x2

G* A* F#m*
So if each of us is made up of a tally of mistakes and successes

Then that hour in the restaurant makes my score less than impressive Oh each can be redeemed by the courage in which he confesses So darling I miss you Your music and your musk and your kisses

 		G*
I don’t think I can do this
