Intro SI/SOL SI/FA# LA/FA# SOL/MI SOL/DO
Verse:
SI/SOL SI/FA# LA/FA# SOL/MI SOL/DO
I'm tired, twisted, barely breathing, buried in the dark. It could have been.
SI/SOL SI/FA# LA/FA# SOL/MI SOL/DO
Don't be concerned, it's just the power of a breaking heart.
How good am I hiding it?
SI/SOL
Look, I've got some bad intentions.
SI/FA# LA/FA#
Guilty as fucking charged.
SOL/MI SOL/DO
Still standing stable, more than able 'cause I know who you are.
SI/SOL SI/FA# LA/FA# SOL/MI
I know the birthdays, anniversaries, all the first days I missed.
SOL/DO
I regret them all.
But now I know this:
Chorus
DO
I know that God exists.
RE
I held her in my arms.
SOL MIm
I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong.
SOL
Take me off your worry list.
RE
It'll be better that way.
SOL MIm
I'm really fine and there's nothing we haven't talked about.
SOL RE
So, take me off your worry list I said, "Throw it away."
SOL
This is what my life is about.
I might have been gone but I never walked out.
Intro played one more time.
Verse:
SI/SOL SI/FA# LA/FA#
I've taken a thousand red eyes to change your point of view.
SOL/MI SOL/DO
What kind of man would take the trust you break and still follow through?
SI/SOL
Cause I'm standin' right here.
SI/FA# LA/FA#
And you may not show up.
SOL/MI SOL/DO
This same gate 14 where, honestly, I'm just sick of calling your bluff.
SI/SOL SI/FA# LA/FA#
And it's just embarrassing, that I nearly threw up
SOL/MI SOL/DO
And I'm trying hard to change the things I always screw up.
SI/SOL SI/FA# LA/FA# SOL/MI
And at the top of my list, this visitation's no relationship.
SOL/DO
But I gotta make the best of it.
Cause I know:
Chorus
DO
I know that God exists.
RE
I held her in my arms.
SOL MIm
I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong.
SOL
Take me off your worry list.
RE
It'll be better that way.
SOL MIm
And I'm doin' fine and I've got plenty of friends around.
DO
Take me off your worry list.
RE
Just throw it away.
SOL MIm
Well, it's time to stand up on my own for her.
DO RE
Cause I'm packing it up, and I'm comin' today.
Bridge:
SOL
I couldn't wait to finally pick my family up.
SOL/FA#
Everything is quiet and covered in snow.
MIm
There's something wrong here...
DO
Nobody's at home.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
DO RE
Now, I'm back in the driver's seat.
Heading back home.
SOL MIm
Yeah, back to Texas on my own.

It'll be better that way

Yeah, it's time to stand up on my own for her.
DO RE
I'm packing it up, and I'm comin' today.
SOL
This is what my story's about.
MIm DO
I might have been gone but I never walked out.
RE
I'm packin' it up, and I'm comin' today.
SOL
This is what your story's about.
SOL
My pretty little girl, can you figure it out?
SOL
If it helps to know so there is no doubt,
Just listen to the stories.
Not everything is glorious.
SOL
Some hurt, some love, some shout.
I fought the world and I lost that bout.
SOL
And you are what my album's about.
I might have been gone, but I never walked out.
