I know I took the path that you would never want for me
5   5   5  -4   -4     4,       -3   4
I know I let you down, didn't I?
 6  -4 -4    -4   -4       6      6 -5     5     5     -5   5   -4   4   4
So many sleepless nights where you were waiting up on me
   4    5    5   5   -4    -4 4   -3     4
Well I'm just a slave unto the night

Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me
 5    5    5      5   5    -4     -4    4     -3    4
Remember when I broke you down to tears
6   -4  -4  -4   -4     6    6 -5   5       5     -5 5     -4    4    4
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
5   5     5    -4       -4      4   -3     4
I gave you hell through all the years

(Chorus)
 4 6, 6 -6   -6   6,  6  -6  -6    6
So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
6  -6  -6   6    5   -4 (-4 5 -4 -4 5 -4 4 4)
I bet my life on you
6, 6 -6   -6   6,  6  -6  -6    6
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
6  -6  -6   6    5   -4 (-4 5 -4 -4 5 -4 4 4)
I bet my life on you

 6     -4    -4  -4   -4       6   6 -5  5   5  -5  5    -4   4       4
I've been around the world and never in my wildest dreams
    5    5    5     -4  -4       4   -3   4
Would I come running home to you
  6   -4  -4  -4  -4    6  6 -5   5   5  -5  5 -4  4     4
I've told a million lies but now I tell a single truth
    5       5    5   -4  -4   4 -3 4
There's you in everything I do
  3     3   5   5       5    5  -4   -4     4     -4    5      5      5   3   -2
Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me
 5    5    5      5   5    -4     -4    4     -3    4
Remember when I broke you down to tears
6   -4  -4  -4   -4     6    6 -5   5       5     -5 5     -4    4    4
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
5   5     5    -4       -4      4   -3     4
I gave you hell through all the years

(Chorus)

   -5    6    -5    5   -4     -5
Don't tell me that I'm wrong
 -5      6        -5     5    -4  4
I've walked that road before
  4    -4    -4  -4    5     5
And left you on your own
  -4     -5     -5   6     -5       5      -4   -5
And please believe them when they say
  -5    -5   6   -5   5   -4   4
That it's left for yesterday
  4     4   -4  -4     -4    5       5
And the records that I've played
   -5      5   5    -4   4  -3 -2 3   4     4
Please forgive me for    all    I've done

(Chorus) x2
