[Verse]
F C G
I swear I’m not just saving face, I’ve changed since we last spoke
Am G
killed the fire, cleared the smoke,
Am G F
and I walk on coals until you get back home.
F C G
And you know I’ve been wasting days, debating ways to cope
Am G
the river dries, the rocks erode,
Am G F
I swim up-tide to show you how I’ve grown.
[Chorus]
F C
so won’t you Take my hand
G Am
I know I’m asking for so much
F C
I let you down I broke your trust
G F
doesn’t this distance tear you up?
Am
it tears me up.
G Am
and I’m asking for so much, it tears me up.
F
this distance tears me up.
[Verse]
F C G
I said you were my saving grace but I still I said goodbye
Am G
I’ll cut the bullshit, cut the lies
Am G F
just to hold you til those days are long behind
F C G
when I’ve exercised the cliches and I’m speaking only truth
Am G
it’s more than me, it’s more than you
Am G F
and the more I try the less my words have use
[Chorus]
F C
so won’t you Take my hand
G Am
I know I’m asking for so much

I let you down I broke your trust

oh, this distance, this forgiveness

I reach out my hand
Am G F C
You don’t have to take it back, no you don’t have to understand
Am G
all this pain and all this waiting
F C
tell me where I stand
Am G F C
If I do or if I don’t If I can or if I can’t
Am G F C
If I do or if I don’t, If i can or if I…

so won’t you Take my hand

I know I’m asking for so much

I let you down I broke your trust
