Verse 1:
E MajorE        Cmaj7Cmaj7
It's hard to speak my heart.
            E MajorE
I'm not a man who bares his soul.
          A augmentedA
I let the moment pass me by -
 F# minorF#m       A augmentedA
I stay where I am in control.

         C# minorC#m
I hide behind my work,
BB             A augmentedA
Safe and sure of what to say:
            F# minorF#m   E MajorE
I know I must seem hard,
        A augmentedA        E MajorE
I know I must seem: cold.

Verse 2:
            C majorC
I never touched that girl -
           E MajorE
You think I'd hurt a child, yet
           A augmentedA
I'd hardly seen her face before -
 F# minorF#m    A augmentedA
I swear - I swore we'd barely met.

            C# minorC#m   BB
These people try to scare you
            A augmentedA
With things I've never said.
F# minorF#m   E MajorE
I know it makes no sense.
        A augmentedA    A minorAm A augmentedA
I swear I don't know why:

Verse 3:
         C majorC
You see me as I am - You can't believe I'd lie -
        E MajorE
You can't believe I'd do these deeds -
            A augmentedA
A majorA little man who's scared and blind,
    F# minorF#m       A augmentedA
Too lost to find the words he needs.

E MajorE    F# minorF#m
I never touched that child -
E MajorE        A augmentedA
God - I never raised my hand!
            F# minorF#m   E MajorE
I stand before you now:
        A augmentedA
Incredibly afraid.
            E MajorE
I pray you understand.
