Intro DDGD DDGD 

          D                                   G                  D 
She said, "There are things about you I don't really understand." 
     Bm                             G            D 
I am drinking in the afternoon, got whiskey on my breath. 
        D                                       G               D 
And as I walk through Greenwich Village, with a suitcase full of clothes, 
     Bm                           G              D 
I am blinded by the afternoon and unsure where to go. 
     Bm                           G              D 
I am blinded by the afternoon and unsure where to go. 


         G                                  Bm 
Will you come for me on days like this when I am broken down? 
                 G                                Bm 
'Cause I've been strangled by an emptiness that's still choking me now. 
       G                                Bm    A       G 
I have prayed for absolution that won't ever come around, 
          Bm                 A                       D 
So if you love me, won't you please forgive me now? 


       D                                G            D 
Then I try to call my mother, but she's not around to talk, 
     Bm                             G            D 
So I wander through the fading day, oblivious and lost. 
      D                               G                       D 
Yes I know I'm getting older, chasing time that slips away. 
         Bm                                      G            D 
Point my headlights towards the interstate, it's time for my escape. 
         Bm                                      G            D 
Point my headlights towards the interstate, it's time for my escape.  


     G                                     Bm 
I am sorry for the things I've done; don't try to let you down. 
      G                                          Bm 
In my dreams at night I hear your voice, and I'm shaken by the sound. 
        G                           Bm          A      G 
Now I'm stranded in Los Angeles and you're all I think about. 
          Bm                 A?                       D 
So if you love me, won't you please forgive me now? 


                 G                   D 
I hope there's a million stars above you, 
         G                         D 
And everything you need, I hope it finds you. 
      G                                 D 
Every breath you breathe, hope it comes easy, 
            A 
I hope it's easy. 


           D                         G             D 
I've got a picture in my wallet of a girl I used to know, 
     Bm                             G                       D 
And another of my family, it's been too long since I've been home. 
        D                                  G           D 
Now I'm waiting on a train. Where I'll end up, God only knows. 
      Bm                                  G               D 
Maybe I'll make my way back to her, but I guess I probably won't. 
      Bm                                  G               D 
Maybe I'll make my way back to her, but I guess I probably won't. 


        G                               Bm 
You are somewhere far away from me; I'm here all by myself. 
            G                            Bm 
Through the space between the two of us, wish I had something else. 
           G                               Bm      A           G 
'Cause I'd surrender up most anything if I thought it'd help somehow. 
          Bm                 A                D 
So if you love me, won't you please forgive me now? 
       Bm                 A                D 
If you love me, won't you please forgive me now?
