Amends

[Dm]Well I'm sorry and I apologize
for any pain I may hav[Am]e caused you
and I made yo[A]u my enemy
[C]but now I need you as my friend    [Am]
and I've [A]been wrong for so long      [C]
not to [Am]ask for your forgiveness   [A]
and if you [C]don't accept, I'll understand          [Am]
but [A]I need to make amends     [C]
but I[A] need to make amends
It's hard fo[A]r me to say this
but I've been going[C] through some changes                      [A]
and I'm re[G]ally not quite sure where to begin [C]
I've been [A]kissing devils
and fighting angel[Am]s
putting t[A]he rest of you in danger
an[C]d blaming you for the turmoil beneath my skin[A]
and my[G] twisted versions of the truth              [C]
[A]are a weak man's attempt to look better than you  [G]
[C]can't believe your pain never gave [A]you a grin
[Am]and I've wanted to kill a thousand times[Dm]
[Am]but I think I just th[Dm]ought that I wouldn't sur[Am]vive
[C]but I found happiness ain't [A]something you win
[Bm]Well I'm sorry and I apologize      [G]
for [Em]any pain I may have caused you          [Dm]
and I mad[Em]e you my enemy            [Dm]
but [G]now I need you as my friend        [C]
[Am]and I've been wrong for so long [Em]
not to[Dm] ask for your forgiveness [G]
and if yo[C]u don't accept, I'll understand               [Em]
b[Am]ut I need to make[G] amends        [Dm]
[Am]but I need to mak[G]e amends      [Dm]
[G]Well I've lied to yo[Dm]u so many times      [Em]
w[C]ith a mad desire to co[Am]ntrol your mind       [G]
[Dm]searching for things that no one fin[Em]ds
and I've ki[C]lled your time and stole y[Am]ou blind             [G]
[Am]I've taught you thi[C]ngs you don't need to le[A]arn
s[Bm]o I can cut in line and take[G] your turn
[Em]I've filled your head with snakes and[Dm] worms
on my s[Em]earch for a bridge to burn             [Dm]
I[G] wanna live with no unc[C]ertainty
but th[Am]at man in the mirror's been hurtin[Em]' me
and I've c[Dm]ome to you 'cause there's nowhere el[G]se to go             [C]
[Em]Well I'm sorry and I apologize [Am]
[G]for any pai[Dn]n I may have caused you [Em]
[C]and I made you my ene[Am]my
[G]but now I need you as my [Dm]friend        [Fm]
[Dm]and I've been wrong for so long     [Em]
not to ask f[C]or your forgivenes[Am]s
[Bm]and if you don't accept, [G]I'll understand         [Em]
but I [Dm]need to make amends        [Em]
but I need to make[Dn] amends
If yo[Em]u see me sad, don't pity it  [Fm]
[G]I've been a god dam[C]n idiot
My life,[A] my fault, my actions make[G] me break
and I can't even se[C]e it, so be it
that's wh[B]at I think
when ever[B]ybody's gonna blame the wor[E]ld
I blame my mom a[Em]nd dad and put it in a song       [Am]
I'm weak, [Bm]so I act strong
I'm short, so I talk long     [G]
and layin'[Em] in the hospital
I think, have I been wrong?    [Dm]
all alo[G]ng

I'm 29, still playin' "look at me"

what am I, three?

self-esteem on E

can't you see

I've been often neglegent

almost never benevolent

I think I'm intellegent

but mostly irrelevant

'cause I ain't changed one bit

even though I quit

who cares if I'm sober if

I'm still gonna steal shit

I had to be broken down

another apocalypse

to see what I had missed

and just come and tell you this

my pride, gotta suck it up

my gut, gotta tuck it up

so here goes, dawg

I love you

I fucked it up

Well I'm sorry and I apologize

for any pain I may have caused you

and I made you my enemy

but now I need you as my friend

and I've been wrong for so long

not to ask for your forgiveness

and if you don't accept, I'll understand
[Bm]but I need to make amends
but I need to make [G]amends
Wel[Em]l I'm sorry and I apologize           [Dm]
for any pain I may hav[Em]e caused you
and I [Dm]made you my enemy         [G]
but[C] now I need you as my friend     [Am]
and I've been wr[Em]ong for so long
not to ask for your forgiveness        [Dm]
an[G]d if you don't accept[C], I'll understand
but I n[Em]eed to make amends      [Am]
but [G]I need to[C] make amends  [Am]
