Shame

[G]Okay so I was wrong a[Am]bout
My reasons for us fallin’ [D]out
Of love I want to fall back [G]in

[G]My life is different now I s[Am]wear
I know now what it means to [D]care
About somebody other than [G]myself

[G]I know the things I said to [Am]you
They were untender and [D]untrue
I’d like to see those things [G]undo

[G]So if you could find it in your [Am]heart
To give a man a second [D]start
I promise things won’t end the [G]same

(Chorus)
[G]Shame, boatloads of [C]shame
Day after [Am]day, more of the [D]same
[G]Blame, please lift it o[C]ff
Please take it [Am]off, please make it [D]stop

[G]Okay so I have read the [Am]mail
The stories people often [D]tell
About us that we never [G]knew

[G]But their existence will float [Am]away
And just like every word they [D]say
And we will hold hands as they [G]fade

(Chorus)
[G]Shame, boatloads of [C]shame
Day after [Am]day, more of the [D]same
[G]Blame, please lift it [C]off
Please take it [Am]off, please make it [D]stop

(Bridge)
[C]I felt so sure of everyt[Bm]hing
My love to you so well [Em]received
And I just strutted around your [A]town
Knowing I didn’t let you d[C]own
The truth be known, the truth be t[Bm]old
My heart was always fairly c[Em]old
Posing to be as warm as [A]yours
My way of getting in your [C]world
But now I’m out and I’ve had t[Bm]ime

To look around and think
And sink into another [Am]world
That’s f[D]illed with guilt and overwhelming

(Chorus)
[G]Shame, boatloads of [C]shame
Day after [Am]day, more of the [D]same
[G]Blame, please lift it [C]off
Please take it [Am]off, please make it [D]stop

[G]And everyone they have a [Am]heart
And when they break and fall [D]apart
And need somebody’s helping [G]hand

[G]I used to say just let ’em [Am]fall
It wouldn’t bother me at [D]all
I couldn’t help them now I c[G]an
