Capo 1 (Optional)
[Verse]
G Am
Okay so I was wrong about
D
My reasons for us fallin’ out
G
Of love I want to fall back in
G Am
My life is different now I swear
D
I know now what it means to care
G
About somebody other than myself
G Am
I know the things I said to you
D
They were untender and untrue
G
I’d like to see those things undo
G Am
So if you could find it in your heart
D
To give a man a second start
G
I promise things won’t end the same
[Chorus]
G C
Shame, boatloads of shame
Am D
Day after day, more of the same
G C
Blame, please lift it off
Am D
Please take it off, please make it stop
[Verse]
G Am
Okay so I have read the mail
D
The stories people often tell
G
About us that we never knew
G Am
But their existence will float away
D
And just like every word they say
G
And we will hold hands as they fade
[Chorus]
G C
Shame, boatloads of shame
Am D
Day after day, more of the same
G C
Blame, please lift it off
Am D
Please take it off, please make it stop
[Bridge]
C Bm
I felt so sure of everything
Em
My love to you so well received
A
And I just strutted around your town
C
Knowing I didn’t let you down
Bm
The truth be known, the truth be told
Em
My heart was always fairly cold
A
Posing to be as warm as yours
C
My way of getting in your world
D
But now I’m out and I’ve had time
To look around and think
Am
And sink into another world
D
That’s filled with guilt and overwhelming
[Chorus]
G C
Shame, boatloads of shame
Am D
Day after day, more of the same
G C
Blame, please lift it off
Am D
Please take it off, please make it stop
G Am
And everyone they have a heart
D
And when they break and fall apart
G
And need somebody’s helping hand
G Am
I used to say just let ’em fall
D
It wouldn’t bother me at all
(G)
I couldn’t help them now I can
