Standard tuning dropped 1/2 step as follows: Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb

Intro is Am, C, G, D, basically picked listen to the song for rythm


Am C G D Am
Its been awhile since I could hold my head up high
Am C G D Am
Its been awhile since I first saw you
Am C G D Am
Its been awhile since I could stand on my own two feet again
Am C G D Am
Its been awhile since I could call you

-Chorus
-
--2-2---5-5-------7-7---7-7
--2-2---5-5-5-5---7-7---7-7
--0-0---3-3-5-5---5-5---5-5
--------3-3-3-3---5-5---5-5

And every thing I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I stretched myself beyond my means



Am C G D Am
Its been awhile since I couldn't say that I wasn't addicted
Am C G D Am
Its been awhile since I couldn't say I love myself as well as
Am C G D Am
Its been awhile since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
Am C G D Am
Its been awhile but all that shit seems to disappear when Im with you


Chorus + bridge?

And everything I cant remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that ive rendered
Ive gone and fucked things up again yea~~~~~~~~~~

Why must I feel this way~~~~~~~
Just make this go away~~~~~~~~
Just one more peaceful day~~~~~~~~`





Am C G D Am
Its been awhile since I could look at myself straight
Am C G D Am
Its been awhile since I said im sorry
Am C G D Am
Its been awhile since ive seen the way candles light your face
Am C G D Am
Its been awhile but I can still remember just the way you taste


Chorus

And everything I cant remember
As fucked up as it all may seem -- to be I know its me
I can not blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me


Outro

Am C G D Am
Its been awhile since I could hold my head up high
Am C G
Its been awhile since I said im sorry


you can also play the standard Am,C, G, D through the chorus strumming harder and it sounds ok
Any questons email me its easier with two guitars but it sounds fine with one
