Intro
Am Dm E Am Am Dm E
Am F E
Last night, everything was movin' so fast
Am Am F
I could barely keep track
E Am
Of my offenses or your defenses
Am F E
In hindsight, I woulda, coulda, shoulda not gone there
Am Am F
But left without a word to spare
E Am Dm
Was it your offenses or my defensiveness?
Dm Am
That's got me thinkin' that we're never gonna get it right
E
I wanna straighten this before the sun goes down tonight
Dm Am
If I could only fight the bitterness I feel inside
E
This thing is eatin' me alive
[Refrão] Am Dm
Well, I'm right here and you're right there
E Am
And God knows we've got to start somewhere
Am Dm
'Cause I'm messed up and you're broken
E Am
And those shots we fired, are still smokin'
Dm Am
If I'm right here and you're right there
E Am
And God knows we've got to start somewhere
Dm Am
'Cause I'm messed up and you're broken
E
And those shots we fired, shots we fired are still smokin'
Am Dm E Am
Am Dm E
I'm tossin' and turnin' on the things I'd undo
Am Am Dm
As I wrestle with the painful truth
E Am
My sleep escapes me as guilt berates me
Am Dm E
Exhausted, the memories are drawing so near
Am Am Dm
I can see it like a world premiere
E Am
When did my objective lose all objectiveness?
Dm Am
That's got me thinkin' that we're never gonna get it right
E
I wanna straighten this before the sun goes down tonight
Dm Am
If I could only fight the bitterness I feel inside
E
This thing is eatin' me alive (This thing is eatin' me alive)
[Refrão]E Am Dm
Well, I'm right here and you're right there
E Am
And God knows we've got to start somewhere
Am Dm
'Cause I'm messed up and you're broken
E Am
And those shots we fired are still smokin'
Dm Am
If I need you and you need me
E Am
How can you turn your back and just leave me?
Dm Am
When I'm right here and you're right there
E Am
And God knows we've got to start somewhere
Dm
I said some things that I regret
Am
And if I could, I'd take 'em back
Dm
If I could turn my words around
E
You wouldn't hear a sound
Dm
But here I am and there you are
Am
The space between us is not so far
F E
I'm reaching out my hand in love before the fading sun
Forgive me for what I've done
Am Dm E Am (2x)
[Refrão] Am Dm
Well, I'm right here and you're right there
E Am
And God knows we've got to start somewhere
Am Dm
'Cause I'm messed up and you're broken
E Am
And those shots we fired are still smokin'
Dm Am
If I need you and you need me
E Am
How can you turn your back and just leave me?
Dm Am
When I'm right here and you're right there
E Am
And God knows we've got to start somewhere
