[Asus4] it's been a while [Cadd9]
since I could [G(+d)] h[Dsus2]old my head up high
[Asus4]and it's been a while [Cadd9] since I first s[G(+d)]aw you [Dsus2]
[Asus4]and it's been a while [Cadd9]
since I could s[G(+d)]tand on my o[Dsus2]wn two feet again
[Asus4] it's been a while [Cadd9] since I could [G(+d)] call you [Dsus2]

višlag
[Am]and everyth[C]ing I can't re[G]member [D]
[Am]as fucked up a[C]s it all may s[G]eem [D]
[Am]the conse[C]quences that I've r[G]endered [D]
[Am]I've stretched my[C]self beyond my m[G]eans [D]

and it's been a while
since I couldn't say I wasn't addicted
and It's been a while
since I couldn't say I love my self as well
and It's been a while since I've gone and
fucked things up just like I always do
and it's been a while but all this shit
seems to disappear when I'm with you.

višlag
and everything I can't remember
as fucked up as it all may seem
the consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and fucked things up again

[Am]why must I feel this [G] way [D]
[Am]just make this go a[G]way [D]
[Am]just one more peaceful d[G]ay [D]

and it's been a while
since I could look at my self straight
and it's been a while since I said I'm sorry
and it's been a while
since I've seen the way the candle lights your face
and it's been a while
but I can still remember just the way you taste

višlag
and everything I can't remember
as fucked up as it all must seem to be
I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
he did the best he could for me

it's been a while
since I could hold my head up high
it's been a while since I said I'm sorry
