Amends

         Dm
Well I'm sorry and I apologize
                      Am
for any pain I may have caused you
             A
and I made you my enemy
C                                  Am
but now I need you as my friend
         A                           C
and I've been wrong for so long
       Am                         A
not to ask for your forgiveness
           C                                      Am
and if you don't accept, I'll understand
    A                         C
but I need to make amends
     A
but I need to make amends
            A
It's hard for me to say this
                   C                                          A
but I've been going through some changes
          G                                  C
and I'm really not quite sure where to begin
          A
I've been kissing devils
                  Am
and fighting angels
         A
putting the rest of you in danger
  C                                            A
and blaming you for the turmoil beneath my skin
      G                                           C
and my twisted versions of the truth
A                                                 G
are a weak man's attempt to look better than you
C                                  A
can't believe your pain never gave you a grin
Am                                      Dm
and I've wanted to kill a thousand times
Am                   Dm                       Am
but I think I just thought that I wouldn't survive
C                           A
but I found happiness ain't something you win
Bm                                  G
Well I'm sorry and I apologize
    Em                                      Dm
for any pain I may have caused you
         Em                        Dm
and I made you my enemy
    G                                  C
but now I need you as my friend
Am                              Em
and I've been wrong for so long
      Dm                        G
not to ask for your forgiveness
         C                                             Em
and if you don't accept, I'll understand
 Am               G              Dm
but I need to make amends
Am               G             Dm
but I need to make amends
G                   Dm                   Em
Well I've lied to you so many times
 C                     Am                    G
with a mad desire to control your mind
Dm                                  Em
searching for things that no one finds
Continues after the ad
           C                         Am                   G
and I've killed your time and stole you blind
Am                 C                       A
I've taught you things you don't need to learn
 Bm                          G
so I can cut in line and take your turn
Em                                   Dm
I've filled your head with snakes and worms
       Em                                     Dm
on my search for a bridge to burn
 G                      C
I wanna live with no uncertainty
      Am                                Em
but that man in the mirror's been hurtin' me
          Dm                                  G                    C
and I've come to you 'cause there's nowhere else to go
Em                             Am
Well I'm sorry and I apologize
G          Dn                      Em
for any pain I may have caused you
C                    Am
and I made you my enemy
G                        Dm            Fm
but now I need you as my friend
Dm                                  Em
and I've been wrong for so long
            C                 Am
not to ask for your forgiveness
Bm                       G                       Em
and if you don't accept, I'll understand
      Dm                         Em
but I need to make amends
                  Dn
but I need to make amends
     Em                           Fm
If you see me sad, don't pity it
G                  C
I've been a god damn idiot
        A                         G
My life, my fault, my actions make me break
                   C
and I can't even see it, so be it
         B
that's what I think
         B                          E
when everybody's gonna blame the world
                Em                                Am
I blame my mom and dad and put it in a song
          Bm
I'm weak, so I act strong
                              G
I'm short, so I talk long
          Em
and layin' in the hospital
                               Dm
I think, have I been wrong?
       G
all along

I'm 29, still playin' "look at me"

what am I, three?

self-esteem on E

can't you see

I've been often neglegent

almost never benevolent

I think I'm intellegent

but mostly irrelevant

'cause I ain't changed one bit

even though I quit

who cares if I'm sober if

I'm still gonna steal shit

I had to be broken down

another apocalypse

to see what I had missed

and just come and tell you this

my pride, gotta suck it up

my gut, gotta tuck it up

so here goes, dawg

I love you

I fucked it up

Well I'm sorry and I apologize

for any pain I may have caused you

and I made you my enemy

but now I need you as my friend

and I've been wrong for so long

not to ask for your forgiveness

and if you don't accept, I'll understand
Bm
