[Verse 1]
[G]For[Bm]tune [B]sm[Cm]iled[Eb]
at us and [A]led us all [Bb]astray
[Cm]With[G] the b[Em]ravest and
the be[A]st of [Bb]them[A]
[Bb]And [Eb]fortune's waited if
[Bb]you only move the way
[Cm]Just[G] miss fort[Em]une for the [Bb]rest of them
[Eb]And they s[D]ay y[G]ou can maybe find
[D]forgive[Eb]ness [Bb]after[A]
Maybe find [Bb]a place to stand [G]alone
[D]All the love you [Bm]gave [Cm]won't
[Bb]brin[G]g you home[Em]
An[Bm]d the li[G]fe you saved could
[Bb]be your own[G][Bm][Cm]
[Eb]In our old neighborhood
we [Bb]saw the very same
[Cm]No u[G]se pretending we'd[Fm]
go [Bb]there [A]again[Bb]
[Eb]Always take the credit, no o[Bb]ne takes the bl[Cm]ame I[G]
suppose it's [Fm]only [Bb]fair [Eb]to them[G][Eb]
[Bb][A][Bb][G]
All [D]the love you [Bm]gave won't
[Bb]bring him home[Em]
An[Bm]d the li[G]fe you saved
[Bb]could be your own
[Eb]All the [Cm]love you g[Bm]ave won't
[Bb]brin[G]g him home[Em]
An[Bm]d the li[G]fe you saved cou[Bb]ld be your
[G]own[Cm][Eb][D][A]
[Bm][G][Em][A]
[D]And they say, [G]you can maybe [Eb]find
forgive[D]ness af[A]ter[Bb]
May[A]be find a place to stand [G]alone
[D]All the beau[Bm]ty won't b[G]ring him h[Em]ome
An[Bm]d the li[G]fe you save
[Bb]could be your own
[Eb]All [Cm]the beauty w[G]on't bring him h[Em]ome
An[Bm]d the li[G]fe you save co[Bb]uld be your ow[D]n[Bm]
[A][G][Em]
