Intro:

Am - G
(over and over again)


Verse 1:

Am                             Am  G
    Do you not remember me?
Am                             Am  G
    Think back hard, if you still don't see.
Am                             Am  G
    I know it was long ago...
Am                             Am  G
    How could you have let it go?

Chorus:

      G               Am
Well I still remember you.
          G                 Am
And those things you used to do.
     G                 Am
How I kept my tears inside.
         G                        C
When you held me down and made me
                G
promise not to tell.
C                G
Told me all was well.
C               G
Then I promised myself:
F                     G
I'd get you back somewhere.
F                     G
I'd get you back somewhere.


Verse 2:

Am                                   Am  G
  Don't take this as mean or cold.
Am                                   Am  G
  Friend, you're lookin' mighty old.
Am                                   Am  G
  You're not the man you used to be.
Am                                   Am  G
  Not too far from misery.


Chorus:

         G                Am
So there's nothing you can do.
G                 Am
I've come back for you.
G                       Am
There's no where you can hide.
G
This is my calling and I
C              G
promise not to tell.
C                G
Tell you all is well.
C              G
Don't take promises light.
F                G
I'm here to set it right.
F                G
I'm here to set it right.


Verse 3:

Am                                    Am  G
  Don't waste all your tears old man.
Am                                    Am  G
  Instant death is not the plan.
Am                                    Am  G
  I'm paying this awesome debt.
Am                                    Am  G
  You've got time to suffer yet.
