Intro: E
E
I knew that this was wrong as I
Stood reaching for the bedroom light,
C#m
But she turned me on.
So I turned it off.
E
Now every man has got his flaws,
His breaking point, his sacred cause.
C#m
And I had mine,
But I crossed that line.

There's something better for us all.
Am

E
This night was like a bible verse
With pages torn and missing words
C#m
Condemning me.
And I'm on my knees.
E
I wish that I could start again,
Peel the past like sunburned skin
C#m
Right off of me,
But it's not that easy.
