[VERSE 1:]
          G               C          G
I've been there and back, through it all 
                            F                C
Been on easy street, had my back against the wall 
   G                   C        D
If I had known how you loved me then 
        G                     F            C
I would never have left to be coming back again

[VERSE 2:]
G              C          G
Every day that I've been away 
                            F              C
From the one step closer to what I have to say 
G             C           D
I have always needed your love 
G                        F          C
Now I am asking for some help from above
