Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I'm not ashamed
[A]To say that I've [D]loved you [Bm]well
I'm not [E]ashamed
To let [A]you know[G]
I'm [D]just a name that's [Bm]all
[D]Scratched upon your wall
[Bm]You've used it w[Em]ell but what the h[A]ell
That's what walls are for
[D]

[Verse 2]
I'm not ashamed
To [A]listen to the [D]fast-fallin' rain
[Bm]rain
In [E]the morning upon my [A]window
[G]I'm not[D] afraid to [Bm]cry
I'm [D]not ashamed to try
[Bm]To be your frien[Em]d once again[A]
'Cause that's what's
friends [D]are for

[Verse 3]
Friends are [F#m]for so[Bm]rting out
[E]the hang-ups that that [A]we hide
Walls are [F#m]for sh[Bm]utting out
the love [E]we feel [A]in [G]side

[Verse 4]
[G]I'm not ash[D]amed no [A]to
talk it [D]over once [Bm]again
To re[E]arrange my [A]vocabulary
[G]But I c[D]an't seem to [Bm]find
Any [D]words to change your [Bm]mind
Because I [Em]left them all behind
[A]And that's what words are
[D]for

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][D][Bm][Em][A]
[D]

[Verse 5]
Words are [F#m]for ex[Bm]plaining the mis
[E]takes we might [A]have made
Names are [F#m]for ca[Bm]lling when
there's [E]nothing left to say
[A][G]

[Verse 6]
I'm not [D]ashamed, [A]no,
to say that I've [D]loved you [Bm]well
I'm not [E]ashamed, and yet [A]I know[G]
I'm [D]just a name, that's [Bm]all
[D]Scratched upon your wall
[Bm]You've used it w[Em]ell,
but what [A]the hell
That's what walls [D]are for

[Interlude 2]
[D][G][A][D]

[Verse 7]
I'm not [D]ashamed of [A]wearing
out my [D]old grey [Bm]socks
Chasing [E]you around [A]the back [G]woods
I'm [D]not ashamed [Bm]to darn
Nor [D]to proud to find some [Bm]yarn
To sew them [Em]up once ag[A]ain
'Cause that's what socks are for
[D]
