[Intro] E F# A E E [Verse 1]
E
  I'm here today

        E
There's some things I want to get off my chest

F#7           A                   E
   Some things, are starting real nice

E
They say as we get older

E
We get wiser and I

E
I don't know if that's true

      F#                A              E
But I know a fog's been lifted from my eyes
[Verse 2]
E
You see it seems that sometimes

E
When someone wins

E
Someone has to lose

    F#                   A
I'm afraid I've been the winner too much

E
But when it comes to me and you, baby

E
Oh you've always been there

          F#
There was times that I was gone

A             E
You needed my touch
[Chorus 1]
E
But you know I love you

  G#
I know you do

G              A                E
So tell me you never gave up on me

         E
I can be everything those people see

G#
Everything

G                 A             E
   I can't be the man I want to be
[Verse 3]
  E
I refuse to listen, baby

E
You try to tell me so many times

F#           A                     E
I was headed down the wrong, weird street

E
I got this one way ticket, baby

E
I think I might have to cash it in

F#           A                                E
Maybe coming home would be the best thing for me
[Verse 4]
E
You see I don't want to lose you

E
If I do, nobody wins

       F#              A                        E
Well I know it's up to me to make it right this time

E
So give me one more chance, baby

E
I swear I won't let you down

        F#    A                         E
Take my hand,   let me say what's on my mind
[Verse 5]
E
I'm here today...

E
For so many things I want to say

F#            A       E
Some things I finally realize

E
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder

E
I don't know if that's really true

      F#                      A             E
But I know I dried a thousand tears from my eyes
[Chorus 2]
E
But you know I love you

  G#
I know you do

G              A                E
So tell me you never gave up on me

         E
I can be everything those people see

G#
Everything

G                 A             E
   I can't be the man I want to be
