Verse1

  D        G           D                   G

Sacrifices never made, desparate prayers I left unprayed

  D             G          D         A

Forgiveness not asked for, love not confessed

  D          G           D            G

Compromises all refused, coat of armor not removed

  D          G           D          A

Everything guarded till nothing was left

         Bm                      G

But the image of a face I can't forget

     Bm                    A-Asus-A

The bitter, lasting taste of my regret





Chorus

   D            A          Bm         G

What I wouldn't give to be younger and wiser

   D            A          Bm         G

What I wouldn't give to be yours once more

   D            A          Bm        Bm - A

What I wouldn't give to be less of a miser

   G                         A     D - G etc.

And give you what I wouldn't give before.





Verse2



All the lines I wouldn't cross, battles won while love was lost

I built my fortress with blood, sweat and fears

Terrified you'd run away, I made sure you couldn't stay

I packed all your bags, I cried all your tears

I locked the door behind you and I knew

I'd give anything just to be with you.



(Repeat Chorus)





Bridge

Bm             G

My situation's tragic

Bm                 G

My condition is so sad

Bm              G

What I wouldn't give you

     E          F#m

Cost all that I had



(Jam over the verse)



(Repeat Chorus 2x)
