I've got shadows[C] in hiding
[F]Way down inside me
[C]Sometimes they [G]work to the surfac[C]e[C]
[C]In just the right lighting
[F]You can see them beside me
[C]Well I swear, I don't let 'em [G]out on purp[C]ose[C7]
[Am]Excuse me from the [Dm]table
[E7]It's just I'm not [F]able
[C]To swallow my throat [G]song here toni[C]ght[C7]
[Am]Like something is [Dm]broken
[E7]Don't mind my [F]choking
[C]On the words I should [G]never have tho[C]ught[C7]
(Chorus)
Please forgive [F]me
For the sinner I [C]am
Treat me like a [G]child
As I'm half a [C]man[C7]
But please forgive [F]me
[C]I stepped on the [G]line in the [Am]sand
[F]Now I'm trying just as [G]hard as I [C]can
[C]I've got darkness below me
[F]I need you to show me
[C]The way that [G]I should behave[C][C]
[C]I been in my closet
[F]I shut it and locked it
[C]Let me out, give me my [G]chain, I'll be your [C]slave[C7]
[Am]I've got rooms full of [Dm]questions
[E7]Quite a collec[F]tion
[C]But answers, I [G]have only a [C]few[C7]
[Am]Well, I could use your [Dm]help
[E7]Clearing off these [F]shelves
[C]And maybe find just a [G]little bit of tr[C]uth[C7]
(Chorus)
Please forgive [F]me
For the sinner I [C]am
Treat me like a [G]child
As I'm half a [C]man[C7]
But please forgive [F]me
[C]I stepped on the [G]line in the [Am]sand
[F]Now I'm trying just as [G]hard as I [C]can[C7]
[F]Oh, I'm trying just as [G]hard as I [C]can[C7]
[F]Lord, I'm trying just as [G]hard as I [C]can[C7]
[F]Way down inside me
[C]Sometimes they [G]work to the surfac[C]e[C]
