Intro: A  E  F#m  D 
 
     A             E 
Hang on, just hang on for a minute 
     F#m              D 
I've got something to say 
        A                  E 
I'm not asking you to move on or forget it 
    F#m              D 
But these are better days 
      A         E 
To be wrong all along and admit it 
     F#m         D 
It?s not amazing grace 
          A            E          C#7 
But to be loved like a song you remember 
F#m              D 
Even when you've changed 
 
 
E    A 
Tell me 
      D       A 
Did I go on a tangent? 
      D              A 
Did I lie through my teeth? 
      F#m          C#m             E 
Did I cause you to stumble on your feet? 
            D           A 
Did I bring shame on my family? 
       F#m             E 
Did it show when I was weak? 
             D                A 
Whatever you see, that wasn't me 
            E               D  D  A  Asus2  A (E) 
That wasn't me, that wasn't me 
 
 
            A             E 
When you're lost you will toss every lucky 
F#m              D 
Coin you'll ever trust 
             A              E 
And you?ll hide from your god like he never 
F#m               D 
Turns his back on us 
            A            E 
Then you?ll fall all the way to the bottom 
    F#m              D 
And land on your own knife 
           A             E        C#7 
But you'll learn who you are even if it 
F#m               D 
Doesn't take your life 
 
 
E    A 
Tell me 
      D       A 
Did I go on a tangent? 
      D              A 
Did I lie through my teeth? 
      F#m          C#m             E 
Did I cause you to stumble on your feet? 
            D           A 
Did I bring shame on my family? 
       F#m             E 
Did it show when I was weak? 
             D                A 
Whatever you see, that wasn't me 
            E               D  D  A  Asus2 A 
That wasn't me, that wasn't me 
 
 
      A           C#7              F#m        D   
But I want you to know that you'll never be a-lone 
  D        A 
I wanna be-lieve 
     D             A     
Do I make myself a blessing 
   D          A 
To everyone I meet 
         F#m         C#m 
When you fall I will get you 
        E     E7 
On your feet 
           D            A 
Do I spend time with my family? 
       F#m             E 
Did it show when I was weak? 
                     D                 A 
When that's what you see, that will be me 
             E                Bm     D 
That will be me, that will be me 
             A 
That will be me
