Verse: 
 
B/G                         B      A/F#          G/E                 G/C       
I'm tired, twisted, barely breathing, buried in the dark. It could have been. 
B/G                               B         A/F#      G/E    G/C                            
Don't be concerned, it's just the power of a breaking heart. 
 
How good am I hiding it? 
B/G 
Look, I've got some bad intentions. 
B               A/F# 
Guilty as fucking charged. 
G/E                              G/C                                                
Still standing stable, more than able 'cause I know who you are. 
B/G                     B         A/F#                 G/E                       
I know the birthdays, anniversaries, all the first days I missed. 
                     G/C 
I regret them all. 
 
But now I know this: 
 
 
 
C 
I know that God exists. 
D 
I held her in my arms. 
G                               Em                         
I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong. 
G 
Take me off your worry list. 
D 
It'll be better that way. 
G                                              Em               
I'm really fine and there's nothing we haven't talked about. 
G                                        D 
So, take me off your worry list I said, "Throw it away." 
G 
This is what my life is about. 
 
I might have been gone but I never walked out. 
 
 
Intro played one more time. 
 
 
 
Verse: 
 
B/G                            B           A/F#                                   
I've taken a thousand red eyes to change your point of view. 
G/E                                          G/C 
What kind of man would take the trust you break and still follow through? 
B/G 
Cause I'm standin' right here. 
B            A/F# 
And you may not show up. 
G/E                                         G/C 
This same gate 14 where, honestly, I'm just sick of calling your bluff. 
B/G                         B          A/F#                                
And it's just embarrassing, that I nearly threw up 
        G/E                       G/C 
And I'm trying hard to change the things I always screw up. 
B/G                  B         A/F#            G/E                
And at the top of my list, this visitation's no relationship. 
                     G/C 
But I gotta make the best of it. 
 
Cause I know:  
 
 
C 
I know that God exists. 
D 
I held her in my arms. 
G                          Em 
I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong. 
G 
Take me off your worry list. 
D 
It'll be better that way. 
        G                                         Em 
And I'm doin' fine and I've got plenty of friends around. 
C 
Take me off your worry list. 
D 
Just throw it away. 
G                           Em 
Well, it's time to stand up on my own for her. 
C                        D   
Cause I'm packing it up, and I'm comin' today. 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
G 
I couldn't wait to finally pick my family up. 
G/F# 
Everything is quiet and covered in snow. 
Em 
There's something wrong here... 
C 
Nobody's at home. 
 
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. 
C                             D 
Now, I'm back in the driver's seat. 
                                 
Heading back home. 
G                   Em 
Yeah, back to Texas on my own. 
 
 
C 
Take me off your worry list. 
D 
It'll be better that way 
              G                                   Em       
And I'm doin' fine and I've got plenty of friends around. 
C 
Take me off your worry list. 
D 
Just throw it away. 
           G                Em 
Yeah, it's time to stand up on my own for her. 
C                  D 
I'm packing it up, and I'm comin' today. 
G 
This is what my story's about. 
Em                                        C 
I might have been gone but I never walked out. 
                D 
I'm packin' it up, and I'm comin' today. 
 
 
G 
This is what your story's about. 
G 
My pretty little girl, can you figure it out? 
G 
If it helps to know so there is no doubt, 
 
Just listen to the stories. 
 
 
Not everything is glorious. 
G 
Some hurt, some love, some shout. 
 
I fought the world and I lost that bout. 
G 
And you are what my album's about. 
 
I might have been gone, but I never walked out.
