    Oh Baby I      never meant to hurt you,

                           F      G              F                       - C - Am - C - Am

    the best intentions still don't make things right.

                                          C         - Am

    But all my ghosts they find me

                                                 C           - Am

    like my past they think they own me,

                                                                F            - G            F

    in dreams and dark corners they surround me,      I cry I cry.

 

                             Am                     G           C

    Let me take this time to set the record straight.

                              Am        G             C

    Let me take this time to take it all back.

                              Am        G                   C

    Let me take this time to tell you how I felt.

    Let me take this time to try and make it right.

    all your time      thinking about the way things used to be.

                           - Am                      - F                            -  G   F G  C

  If love feels right,   you work it out,    you don't give it up,      Ba….by!

    I ain't got the time,     to sit here and wait around,

                       Am     - G                                        C    - Am - C - Am

    but I got the time,       if you say I'm what you want.

                                            C                                         Am
