[Verse 1]
Am                              C
What is there to say when it is too late?
Am                             C
Does that make a difference anymore?
Am                              C
Nothin' left but emptiness that keeps me in despair
Am                         C
I won’t find no closure anywhere
Am                            C
I won't get another chance to tell you
Am                                C
Again I put my thoughts under the bed
Am                               C
Wasted time, I wasted years, and both of us' to blame
G                              Am
Stubbornness’ the winner every time
G                                 F
And you and I are the loser every time

[Chorus]
                  C         G
'Cause you didn't want me
           Am      G
You didn't love me
                F                  G
And you weren't there to help this troubled boy
     Am                           G
From all the mess, I got myself into
            C               G
You weren't proud of me
           C               G
You were ashamed of me
             F               G
You couldn't look me in the eyes and say
      Am                             G
"I'm sorry that I failed you all the way"

[Verse 2]
Am                             C
I once had someone I called my father
Am                             C
Memories are fadin’, but they are there
Am                              C
Oh, what I would give to walk into this room again
    F              G           C
And have my daddy greet me with his smile
Am                             C
I can’t blame it all on you, I know that
Am                            C
Much of this is really my own fault
Am                             C
But if I had mattered more and you had stuck around
                                     Am
I could have been the winner in this town
   F            G            F     G
If only you had never let me down

[Chorus]
                  C         G
'Cause you didn't want me
           Am          G
You didn't love me
                F                  G
And you weren't there to help this troubled boy
     Am                           G
From all the mess, I got myself into
            C               G
You weren't proud of me
            C               G
You were ashamed of me
             F               G
You couldn't look me in the eyes and say
      Am                             G
"I'm sorry that I failed you all the way"

[Bridge]
Am                             C
Now, I have a beer with my two brothers
Am                               C
Talkin' 'bout the years we never had
Am                             C
Still, no matter how I feel, I still don't understand
  G                             Am
I wish I would have told you I forgive
      F                 G                       F
Oh, I wish I could have told you that I forgive

[Chorus]
                C       G
That you didn't want me
           Am     G
You didn't love me
                F                  G
And you weren't there to help this troubled boy
Am                                G
From all the mess, I got myself into
            C          G
You weren't proud of me
            C         G
You were ashamed of me
             F               G
You couldn't look me in the eyes and say
     Am                          G       Am
"I'm sorry that I failed you all the way"
