[Verse 1]
Bm
What I thought was love has me 
falling apart
G                                  
Don't know if I can heal from this 
Bm
broken heart
D                             A  
Didn't think my partner would 
              Bm     G F#
ever give up on me
Bm
Guess I made it hard when I wouldn't
 give in
        G                          
Looking back on all my selfishness 
    Bm
and all my sin
D                                 
You were drowning in the darkness 
     A                      F#
that made it so I couldn't see
           G                       
I wanna go back to the days when I 
D
wasn't afraid
     A                             
The good life with my friend and 
  Bm
the family we made
G                        
There was once a time when 
  D                 F#
everything seemed alright

[Chorus]
           G                     D
So take me back to the time when I 
was a boy
        A                    
Before innocence was lost and 
   Bm
released its joy
     G                  F#        
But that was all in the past and 
                Bm        G G
it was only temporary

[Verse 2]
Bm
Now I gotta move, I gotta play my 
part
G                           Bm
Focus on my children and my music 
and art
D                         A      
Life ain't gonna stop and wait 
              Bm     G F#
for a shit like me
Bm
Learn from my regrets and I'll try 
to be
  G                         
A good man working hard with 
 Bm
integrity
    D                          
I'm changing my perspective and 
 A                          F#
that's what's gonna set me free
             G                     
I wanna look now to the world that 
 D
I'm living in
         A                         
Time to stand up on my own and it's
  Bm
 time to begin
     G                 D          
I'm only bound by the limits I set
        F#
 for myself

[Chorus]
              G                    
I gotta have hope for the future no
  D
 matter the case
         A                         
Looking forward with my dreams 
     Bm
until I reach that place
    G                   F#m
It doesn't matter if I fail
F#m*                    Bm        
Cause life is only temporary
 G A


[Bridge]
A                            D
And why do I have to do this on my 
own
  A                            D
I cry, lord why don't you just take 
me home
                      F#
Could you hand me the instructions 
please
                         Bm
I've been pleading to you on my 
knees
                      E
Yeah you just tell me what to do
           A       G      F#       
N.C.
I'll do my best to follow through 
(bam)

[Chorus]
             G                   D
I wanna look back on my life and let
 it all go
         A                         
Death is coming for us all but 
  Bm
we'll never know
G                            D   
When he's gonna catch us and take
                 F#
 us to the other side
             G                     
I wanna have faith that I loved and
   D
 I did my best
A                     Bm
Give me open arms or eternal rest

I know that day is gonna come
F#*                     Bm~
