-4   -4   -6  6   6
And it's been a while 
 4    4   4    -4  -4  -4  -5  -4
Since I could hold my head up high 
-4  -4    -6  6   6
and it's been a while 
  4   4  4     -4  4
Since I first saw you 
-4   -4   -6  6   6
And it's been a while 
  4   4   4    4    4  4  -4   -4  -4  -5 -4
since i could stand on my own two feet again 
-4   -4   -6  6   6
and it's been a while 
  4   4   4    -4   4
since I could call you 


Chorus:
 -4 -4  -4 -6  7  -6   -5 -5 -4 -4  -4    -4 -6 
And everything I can't remember as fucked up as
7  -6   6   6
It all may seem 
-4  -4 -4 -6  7   -6   6    -5  -4
the consequences that I've rendered 
 -4     -4     -4 -6   7  6  6   6
I've stretched myself beyond my means 

verse 2:
It's been a while 
since i could say that i wasn't addicted and 
It's been a while 
Since I could say I love myself as well and 
It's been a while 
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do 
It's been a while 
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm
with you

(Chorus)

-5   6  -5  5    -5   -5
Why must I feel this way? 
-4    6    -5  5 -5 -5
just make this go a-way 
-6    7   -6   6   -5  -5
just one more peaceful day 

verse 3:
Its been awhile 
Since I could look at myself straight 
and it's been awhile 
since I said I'm sorry 
It's been awhile 
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face 
It's been awhile 
But I can still remember just the way you taste 

(last chorus)
But everything I can't remember as fucked up as
It may seem 
I know it's me I cannot blame this on my father 
he did the best he could for me 

-4   -4   -6  6  6
And it's been awhile 
  4   4   4    -4  -4  -4  -5  -4
Since I could hold my head up high 
-4   -4   -6  6  6     4   4  4    4  -4 4
And it's been awhile since I said I'm sorry
