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

[Chorus]
           G                     D
So take me back to the time when I was a boy
        A                       Bm
Before innocence was lost and released its joy
     G                  F#                        Bm        G G
But that was all in the past and 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                    Bm     G F#
Life ain't gonna stop and wait for a shit like me
Bm
Learn from my regrets and I'll try to be
  G                          Bm
A good man working hard with integrity
    D                           A                          F#
I'm changing my perspective and that's what's gonna set me free
             G                      D
I wanna look now to the world that I'm living in
         A                           Bm
Time to stand up on my own and it's time to begin
     G                 D                  F#
I'm only bound by the limits I set for myself

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

[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)

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