Verse 1
Em 
At the beginning of this story,
B 
we were oh so easily
C 
led by the promise of glory,
B 
but look at what returned instead.
G# 
And you're surprised
C 
I've come back here
Em 
so empty -handed.
C 
You're surprised I've come back
Em 
with nothing left to say
C 
You're surprised I've
come back broken,
Em 
tired of standing
B 
So who's going, who's going,
Em 
who's going to wish me well?
C 
You're surprised I've
come back naked
Em 
You're surprised I've
come back sore
C 
You're surprised I've come back
Em 
with nothing left to show for this at all
C 
But my loving is not wasted,
Em 
not this time or the time before
B 
So who's gone, who's gone,
Em 
who's gone to wish me well before
B 
Em 
B 
I fall? are you gone?
Em 
B 
Em 
B 
are you gone to
Em 
B 
C 
B 
wish me well?
Em 
I would owe you, let me deserve it
B 
Though I would owe you, get what I got
C 
I would all of this be buried,
B 
though I would all this be dug up.
Em 
I would all of us be blameless,
B 
though I would all you done what I done.
C 
I would all this be forgiven,
B 
remember me not for my crime.
Em 
I would all of this be writing
B 
For I would all of this be love
C 
I would all of this be written
B 
I would all this end up in song
Em 
I would all of this be writing
B 
For I would all of this be love
C 
I would all of this be written
B 
I would all this end up in song
Em 
I would all, I would all this be written
E 
B 
For I  would all, I would all this be love
C 
I would all of this be written
B 
I would all this end up in song
Em 
E 
For I would all, I would all this be writing
B 
For I would all, I would all this be love
C 
For I would all of this be written
B 
I would all this end up in a song,
E 
end up in a song
