Chords with lyrics
Transcribed by Chris Rittelmeyer
NOTE: This is not the version from The Bittersweet album. I'm not sure what LP or
EP this version is from, but I think it's better than The Bittersweet version. He
does it in Drop D, but I do this in standard tuning. It's up to you!
DmDm C majorC FF
I would have given my world to see
C majorC FF C majorC
You deliver the jailer's key
Bb majorBb FF
I'd give you the credit
C majorC
And take what went wrong
DmDm C majorC FF
I would have given most anything
C majorC FF C majorC
To see your lips move but hear me singing
Bb majorBb FF
If you had opened your mouth
C majorC
And spit out my song
DmDm C majorC FF
Lover you're forgiven
FF C majorC FF
You have suffered for long enough
FF C majorC
They're holding their breath
FF Bb majorBb
And I'm calling their bluff
FF C majorC FF
Our love is strong enough
FF C majorC DmDm C majorC FF
Our love is strong enough
DmDm C majorC FF
If there were ever a movie made
C majorC FF C majorC
That outlines my life in some honest way
Bb majorBb FF C majorC
Line for line note for note and page by page
DmDm C majorC FF
I'd hope that who ever played your part
C majorC FF C majorC
Would feel my remorseful and heavy heart
Bb majorBb FF C majorC
They would open their mouth and unyieldingly say
DmDm C majorC FF
Lover you're forgiven
FF C majorC FF
You have suffered for long enough
FF C majorC
They're holding their breath
FF Bb majorBb
And I'm calling their bluff
FF C majorC FF
Our love is strong enough
FF C majorC DmDm C majorC FF
Our love is strong enough
A minorAm E MajorE C majorC
Instead you held the key over my head
D MajorD
And just out of reach
FF C majorC
Till any love that used to be
FF C majorC
Got wasted on the need for me
FF C majorC
To feel as though I could be free
FF C majorC
'Cause I'm not your asshole I'm not your thief
FF Am6/F# G+G
I thank the lord that I finally was released
A minorAm G+G C majorC
Lover you're forgiven
A minorAm G+G C majorC
We've both suffered for long enough
FF G+G
They all held their breath
A minorAm FF
But we couldn't call their bluff
FF G+G C majorC
'Cause our love wasn't strong enough
FF G+G C majorC
Our love wasn't strong enough
FF G+G C majorC
Our love wasn't strong enough
