The chords can be played as barres or power-chords. I think orginally its played
as power-chords, but barres sound nice, too.
verse 1:
Dm
Your eyes were not blind still you could not see
Bb
A danger that you could not stop and not feel
Gm F
All these questions 'bout "heaven knows why"
A
Lost their meaning somehow
But I still wanna know how you felt
Dm
When you stood all alone at the edge of your life
Bb
And you've made your own choice between darkness and light
Gm
And prepaired yourself for the end
F A
Your step right out of your life
refrain:
Dm Bb
And I'm sorry that I could not take all your worries
F
You said goodbye to it all
A
And your weakest hour made you fall
Dm Bb
And I'm sorry that I left you with all your worries
F
Please don't blame me for your fall
A Dm
Could I've ever saved you at all?

verse 2:
Dm
I thought we could meet up half way
Bb
But damn you were already gone
Gm F
Prefering to walk that way all alone
A
But tell me now who had won?
Dm
There's so much that I could have shown you
Bb
So many things left undone
Gm F
All you did could have been forgiven
A
But you didn't get along
refrain:
Dm Bb
And I'm sorry that I could not take all your worries
F
You said goodbye to it all

And your weakest hour made you fall

Could I've ever saved you at all?
