Capo 4 
 
 
A         C             G            D         A  C   G  D 
Trying to keep a candle burning in a hurricane 
A                C             G           D             A  C  G  D 
that's what it's like when you love me and leave me this way 
A      C           G             D                A C G D 
Like a dove crying out when he's lost the will to fly,  yeah 
A        C       G             D             A    C G D 
Shackled down to earth by your long chain of lies,    well 
  

A                   G            D           A 
I'll forgive you tomorrow if the sun doesn't shine 
A                    G             D          A 
Let you back into my life when the oceans are dry 
A                        G            D                G 
Take you back when every shade of the rainbow turns to gray 
      D                       A C G A  C G  A 
But I just can't do it today,    I can?t do   
 


Well I can see you dancing in that strangers arms 

My world hasn?t stopped turning but it?s fallin? apart 

Every breath that I take?s a little to sane, yeah 

They say time is a healer but it?s still a long, long ways away, yeah 
 
Chorus 
 
I can?t do it today 

Don?t wanna do it today 
 
Bridge: 
A 
There?s a part of me that wishes I could just forget 
                              G 
But I haven?t found the mercy yet, ain?t no mercy yet 
 
Chorus
