Play this after the first time they sing the chorus and through the 
second verse.                                                            
                 


Here are the chords to the chorus:
F                 Dm                     C 
It's always the same, you're always to blame
              Bb                  
Is there any way around this, I can't see
F                  Dm                     C 
You walked out on her, you planned to be free
                   Bb
I'm trying not to point the finger, but it's killing me


The rest of the lyrics:

Verse 1:
What were you thinking? I've got a right to ask
Is there a reason, other than your past
A great pretender, why was I the last
To see through your skin
Is there a chance you'll ever change?

Verse 2:
What were you thinking? Were you thinking of me?
Did you see what they wrote, on the family trere?
I know it's over, all in the past
I need to forgive you, if I'm to last
Will I ever change?

Alternate words to the chorus:
Take these pictures, thrown away
Put them together from night and day
Washed by the sun, dried by the rain
To be my father in the fatherless days

Note: I use a chorus effect with slight delay (on a Fender Stratocaster)
 to try to get the same sound as the intro guitar.

If you don't have the Newsboys new CD then drop
whatever you're doing and go out and buy it!
