#Intro
|/ / / / |/ / / / | X4
A train pulls in off the street
Soft and low like a mother’s heartbeat
I’ve been trying to get my mind off me
But I’m more self conscious than I’ve ever been
By the time
You get this
I’ll be long gone
God’s my witness
|/ / / / |/ / / / |
It’s all there in black and white
It’s just the story of my life
Well, you get it or you don’t
You’re the only one I’ve ever told
By the time
You get this
I’ll be long gone
God’s my witness
And it’s hard
To keep living
When I know I’m,
not forgiven
Still it comes, still it comes
There’s nothing else I could’ve done
Not with the cards they’ve given me
Do you think you’ll ever forgive me?
By the time
You get this
I’ll be long gone
God’s my witness
It’s so hard
to keep living
when I know I’m
not forgiven
Hey
I’m forgiven
I’m forgiven
I’m forgiven
I’m forgiven
