[Verse 1]
 
Gb               Db
I was away for a while
        Bbm                   B
But I'm hoping someday you'll forgive me
            Gb          Db
But I don't deserve it
     Bbm                    B
I'll cherish it well if you give me
                Gb
One of your new starts
              Db
Just one more last chance
                  Bbm
I swear that I'll earn it
                    B
If you front me for now
                Gb     Db
I'm good for it I swear
               Bbm    B
I'm better now I swear

[Chorus]
 
   Gb
In earlier days
       Emaj7913
They'd persecute people
       Ebm
They'd carry them off
    Db
And hobble their legs
    Gb
For lesser offences
     Emaj7913
Than how I have harmed you
    Ebm
But still you allow me
   Db           B
To walk free of pain
         Gb
Though I punish myself
  Emaj7913
I will never settle
    B
The debts I've incurred
    Bb
For scorning the face
   Gb
Of absolute beauty
    Emaj7913
And measureless grace
    B
And though I once mocked you
    Bm                  Gb Emaj7913 B
I'm dying to pay for it now.
    Bbm                 Gb Emaj7913 B Bm
I'm dying to pay for it now.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
   Gb
So hand me the rocks
   Db
To help weigh me down
    Gb                    Ebm          Db
And tether my legs with a cord tightly bound to the
Gb
End of an anchor
       Db
Thrown in to the sound
    Gb
And test me to see
   Ebm    Db
If I will rise
 B
Against
    Ebm
The worst
     Db
That it
    G
Can get.

[Verse 2]
 
Gb                  Db
I wasn't well for a while
  Bbm                     B
I savor the things that I knew
                     Gb
Were sure to destroy me
                   Db
And that seemed to hold me
               Bbm                       B
That seemed to carry me where I couldn't go
                      Gb
On the strength of my own
                Db   Bbm B
But I should've known
                  Gb    Db
That that gets me nowhere
                      Bbm  B
I've learned that now I swear

              I was away for a while 
But I'm hoping someday you'll forgive me 
Though I don't deserve it 
I'll cherish it well if you give me one of your new starts

Just one more last chance 
I swear that I'll earn it 
If you front me for now 
I'm good for it I swear 
I'm better now I swear 

In earlier days, they'd persecute people 
They'd carry them off, and hobble their legs 
For lesser offenses, and how I have harmed you 
And still you allow me to walk free of pain 

Though I punish myself 
I will never settle 
The debts I've incured for scorning the face 
Of absolute beauty, and measureless grace 
And though I once mocked you 
I'm dying to pay for it now 
I'm dying to pay for it now 

So hand me the rocks to help weigh me down 
And tether my legs with a cord tightly bound 
To the end of an anchor thrown into the sound 
And test me to see if I will rise against the worst that it can get 

I wasn't well for a while 

I savored the things that I knew were sure to destroy me 
And that seemed to hold me 
That seemed to carry me where I couldn't go
On the strength of my own 
Well, I should've known
That gets me nowhere 
I've learned that now I swear 

In earlier days, they'd persecute people 
They'd carry them off, and hobble their legs 
For lesser offenses, and how I have harmed you 
And still you allow me to walk free of pain 

Though I punish myself 
I will never settle 
The debts I've incured for scorning the face 
Of absolute beauty, and measureless grace 
And though I once mocked you 
I'm dying to pay for it now 
I'm dying to pay for it now, now, now 

So hand me the rocks to help weigh me down 
And tether my legs with a cord tightly bound 
To then end of an anchor thrown into the sound 
And test me to see if I will rise against the worst that it can get 

Well, I wasn't sure that I could 
Well, I wasn't sure that I could 
Well, I wasn't sure that I could
But, I can
