[Verse 1]
[Am]
[Dm]Fift[G]een[Am][A]
years from tonight
You have to make a decision
[Am]The greatest love [C]of your life
Is gonna call during dinner
[Dm]From the home of t[G]he girl
that he's living with [Am]now
And the guilt he'll say is killing him
He's wilted in the middle
[C]And he knows how bad he acted
Knows he can't have you back
But the fact [Dm]is he can't be happy
when you're [G]angry
And you're so [Am]angry,
he says you stayed so mad
And he [A]heard it on the street that
[Am]You moved back in with your dad
[G]That you were dri[Am]nking something awful
And that makes him [F]sad
Then [Dm]he says it's good
[G]to hear your voice again
And [A]that it's hard to [Am]ask it
But he's [A]calling with a question
'Cause he's been working
real hard
He's trying to make a new start
[C]An honest to God fresh beginning
So [Dm]maybe you could try to finally [G]find it
In your heart to [Am]for give him

[Verse 2]
You've already [Am]been here before
You already [C]know where it goes
You [Dm]chose this
You [G]know it's [C]supposed
[Am]to be over
You've been here before
You already [C]know where it goes
You [Dm]chose this
You [G]know it's sup[Am]posed to be over

[Verse 3]
He [A]hung up the phone
You listened [Am]to the dial tone
And you stared at the stove
Until the beeping started
You [F]read some love [G]letters
some threats
And some you [Am]couldn't
tell [A]apart
That you keep under [Am]the bed
at the [A]apartment
Then you did what he asked you to do
You [Am]opened your [C]heart up
Right there on a napkin on the carpet
And [Dm]part of it was [G]frost
bit
But you've always been a
smart [A]kid
Could still distinguish
The blood black as pitch
Valves had gone stiff
Vein[Am]s and scar [C]tissue
Four chambers just a standard issue
But [Dm]none had room,
for[G]giveness is huge
And you had [Am]two full of ice water
One full of salt, one packed with coal
[G]Eager and [C]ready and will[Am]ing [F]to
find [G]fault[Am]

[Verse 4]
You've already [Am]been here before
You already [C]know where it goes
[Dm]You chose this
You [C]know it's supposed
[Am]to be over
You've been here before
You already [C]know where it goes
You [Dm]chose this
You [G]know it's sup[Am]posed to be over

[Verse 5]
[Am]Then with [A]your heart in your [Am]lap
And your head in your hands
[C]Sudden[G]ly you had a pla[Am]n
[F]Wrap the mess in newspaper
[G]Headed west on Hennepin
[A]Heavy with a huge favor for
a kid that just turned ten
A flat- chested, gap- toothed girl
[Am]Was the best [G]that I've been [Am]so far
And [F]now I'm too big to for[G]give him
I need just a [Am]moment with me
A moment when I was still little
[A]I used to sing on the roof
outside [Am]my windowsill
[C]And I came hoping some ghost
of me would be here still
[Dm]And here you are,
stick [G]figure and a busted grin
[Am]Still ignorant of all the trouble
I'ma get us in
[A]Hoping we could trade, [Am]just for tonight
Like [C]I could borrow your heart
And I could leave you mine
It's not [Dm]much for collateral
Tattered [G]and battle- scared
But I can [Am]promise you solemn
That I will be back for it tomorrow
I only need yours this evening
So I can call an old friend
And I can tell him
That we're finally even
[C]That we're finally[Dm][C][Am]
[C][Dm][G]
[Am]even

[Verse 6]
[Am]You chose this
You [F]know [G]it's supposed
[Am]to be over
You've (I) been here before
[Am]You already know where[Am] it goes
You chose [C]this
You know it's supposed to be over
