Its been a while since I could hold my head up high
Its been a while since I first saw you
Its been a while since I could stand on my own two feet again
Its been a while since I could call you

And every thing I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I stretched myself beyond my means

Verse:
Am              C                 G          D                 Am
Its been a while since I couldn't say that I wasn't addicted
Am              C                 G            D                Am
Its been a while since I couldn't say I love myself as well as
Am              C                    G                     D             Am     
Its been a while since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
Am              C             G                 D                        Am    
Its been a while but all that shit seems to disappear when Im with you

Chorus: 
And everything I cant remember 
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that ive rendered
Ive gone and fucked things up again  yeah

Bridge: (played with the same chords as the chorus)
Why must I feel this way
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day

Verse:
Am              C            G  D             Am
Its been a while since I could look at myself straight
Am              C                G            D   Am
Its been a while since I said im sorry
Am              C                    G  D                  Am
Its been a while since ive seen the way candles light your face
Am              C          G              D                Am
Its been a while but I can still remember just the way you taste

Chorus:
And everything I cant remember
As fucked up as it all may seem --    to be I know its me
I can not blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

Outro: 
Am             C        G    D       Am
Its been a while since I could hold my head up high
Am             C                G
Its been a while since I said im sorry
