The Right Wrong

Am

[Verse 1]
       Am                          
In the dead of night, I'm held in a
 F
 gaze
   F     F/E   Dm                
My heart has a habit of shedding 
C           Am          F
light on my numerous mistakes
        F    F/G Am              
And they wear me down allied with
               F
 the ghosts of pain that keep me 
awake
F   F/E Dm            C        
Oh, the past can paralyze if 
             Am               F
you ponder the paths you didn't take

[Bridge]
F F/E       Dm
  With the chance to go back and 
amend every grievance
    Am
How could I resist preventing my 
demons
     Dm
From ever existing and making a mess
       Am
Of the life that I could have had

[Chorus]
      F           C
Would I return to you
F               C
  To the love I knew
        Am        Dm
Or would I have undone
        Am              Dm   
All the good that gives misery 
  E7
meaning
    F                    C
And where could you have gone
F                     C
 The only right I had wronged
            Am          Dm

Oh, despite all my skeletons, I see

All is as all should be

[Verse 2]
  Dm                     Am      F
  Still it's hard not to imagine
G   F             Em          
How different our lives would 
Dm    C         F
be if given the chance
   Dm                              
To fix every failure, to rewrite 
  Am     F
the canon
G     F        Em        Dm    
What character would I be if my
C               F
 conscience was clean
G                    Am
What would become of me

[Chorus]
      F           C
Would I return to you
F               C
  To the love I knew
        Am        Dm
Or would I have undone
        Am              Dm   
All the good that gives misery 
  E7
meaning
    F                    C
And where could you have gone
F                     C
 The only right I had wronged
            Am          Dm
Lost in the chapters we changed
     Am            Dm         E  
Oh, despite all my skeletons, you
     Am
 see me
