-----  x2
open  up and let  me in
i  was lucky to live, dont  need to win
forgave  myself and if  that's a sin
 it's not  enough you'd even  know it
 you  did right to  call my bluff
 'cause  i wont say  when i've had enough
 and  i worked so hard  to need this stuff
 and  you tried so long to  just ignore it
 wont you come down  where i am
 word are hidden,  understand
 i wont  repeat myself  again
 i will  not repeat myself  again
 it's another  promise  d.o.a.
 and despite  my every hope
 there is no truth  behind my  best intentioned oath
 won't you come down  where i am
 words are hidden,  understand
 won't you come  down
  (still holding A chord........)
  been away too long i know i have
