D G D
she said , “there are things about you i don’t really understand . ”
Bm G D
i Am drinking in the afternoon , got whiskey on my breath .
D G D
and as i walk through greenwich village , with a suitcase full of clothes ,
Bm G D
i Am blinded by the afternoon and unsure where to go .
Bm G D
i Am blinded by the afternoon and unsure where to go .

G Bm
will you come for me on days like this when i Am broken down?
G Bm
’cause i’ve been strangled by an emptiness that’s still choking me now .
G Bm A G
i have prayed for absolution that won’t ever come around ,
Bm a? D
so if you love me , won’t you please forgive me now?

D G D
then i try to call my mother , but she’s not around to talk ,
Bm G D
so i wander through the fading day , oblivious and lost .
D G D
yes i know i’m getting older , chasing time that slips away .
Bm G D
point my headlights towards the interstate , it’s time for my escape .
Bm G D
point my headlights towards the interstate , it’s time for my escape .

G Bm
i Am sorry for the things i’ve done; don’t try to let you down .
G Bm
in my dreams at night i hear your voice , and i’m shaken by the sound .
G Bm A G
now i’m stranded in los angeles and you’re all i think about .
Bm a? D
so if you love me , won’t you please forgive me now?

G D
i hope there’s a million stars above you ,
G D
and everything you need , i hope it finds you .
G D
every breath you breathe , hope it comes easy ,
A
i hope it’s easy .

D G D
i’ve got a picture in my wallet of a girl i used to know ,
Bm G D
and another of my family , it’s been too long since i’ve been home .
D G D
now i’m waiting on a train . where i’ll end up , god only knows .
Bm G D
maybe i’ll make my way back to her , but i guess i probably won’t .
Bm G D
maybe i’ll make my way back to her , but i guess i probably won’t .

G Bm
you are somewhere far away from me; i’m here all by myself .
G Bm
through the space between the two of us , wish i had something else .
G Bm A G
’cause i’d surrender up most anything if i thought it’d help somehow .
Bm A D
so if you love me , won’t you please forgive me now?
Bm A D
if you love me , won’t you please forgive me now?
