==INTRO==

G   D   Em  C


==VERSE==
G                           
I'm tired and twisted, barely 
  D                        Em     
breathing, buried in the dark... I
    C
 coulda been.
G                                 
Don't be concerned, that's just 
  D                   Em      C
the power of a breaking heart... How
 good am I hiding it?
G                                 
Look, I've got some bad 
  D
intentions. Guilty as fuckin' 
charged.
Em                               
Still standing stable, more than 
C
able, cause I know who you are.
G                          D     
I know the birthdays, 
                         Em
anniversaries, all the first days I 
missed.
                  C
I regret them all, but now I know 
this:


==CHORUS 1==
C                   D
I know that God exists. I held her 
in my arms.
G                   Em
I never knew I was able to ever feel
 this strong.
C                                 
Take me off your worry list, it'll
    D
 be better that way.
            G                   
I'm really fine and Mar' there's 
                     Em
nothing we haven't talked about.
   C                             
So take me off your worry list, I 
       D
said "Throw it away"
G
Yeah, this is what my life is about.
G
I might've been gone but I never 
walked out.

C  D  G  Em


==VERSE==
G                              D
I've taken a thousand red eyes to 
change your point of view
Em                            
What kind of man would take the 
    C
trust you break... and still follow 
through?
G                          D
Cuz I'm standing right here and you 
may not show up.
Em                               
The same gate 14 where honestly, I'm
C
 just sick of calling your bluff.
G                          D
And it's just embarrassing, I nearly
 threw up.
      Em                           
While I'm trying hard to change the
   C
 things I always screw up.
G                    D       
And at the top of my list, this 
                     D
visitation's no relationship.
                          C
But I've got to make the best of it 
cuz I know:


==CHORUS 2==
C                  D
I know that God exists. I held her 
in my arms.
G                   Em
I never knew I was able to ever feel
 this strong.
C                                 
Take me off your worry list, it'll
     D
 be better that way.
               G                   
And I'm doing fine and I got plenty
              Em
 of friends around.
C                               
Take me off your worry list, just 
   D
throw it away.
            G               Em
Well it's time to stand up on my own
 for her.
            C                   
Cause I'm packing it up, and I'm 
           D
coming today.


==BRIDGE==
G
I couldn't wait to finally pick my 
family up.
D
Everything is quiet and covered in 
snow.
Em                            
There's something wrong here... 
               C
Nobody's at home. (Oh, no, no, no, 
no, no)
C                              D
Now, I'm back in the driver's seat.
        G                       
Heading back home. Yeah, back to 
      Em
Texas... On my own.


==CHORUS 3==
C                                 
Take me off your worry list, it'll
     D
 be better that way.
          G                        
I'm doing fine and I got plenty of 
          Em
friends around.
C                                 
Take me off your worry list, just 
  D
throw it away.
      G               Em
It's time to stand up on my own for 
her.
      C                         
I'm packing it up and I'm coming 
    D
today.
G
This is what my story's about,
 Em
I might have been gone but I never 
walked out.


==OUTRO==
C                 D
I'm packing it up and I'm coming 
today.
G
This is what your story's about. My 
pretty little girl, can you figure 
it out?
If it helps to know so there is no 
doubt, just listen to the stories.
Not everything is glorious.
Some hurt, some love, some shout. I 
fought the world and I lost that 
bout.
And you are what my album's about.
I might've been gone but I never 
walked out.
