[Verse]
C C7
I've got shadows in hiding
F Fm
Way down inside me
C G C
Sometimes they work to the surface
C C7
In just the right lighting
F Fm
You can see them beside me
C G C C7
Well I swear, I don't let 'em out on purpose
Am Dm
Excuse me from the table
E7 F
It's just I'm not able
C G C C7
To swallow my throat's all in a knot
Am Dm
Like something is broken
E7 F
Don't mind my choking
C G C C7
On the words I should never have thought
[Chorus]
F Fm
Please forgive me
C
For the sinner I am
G
Treat me like a child
C C7
As I'm half a man
F
But please forgive me
C G Am
I stepped on the line in the sand
F G C
Now I'm trying just as hard as I can
[Instrumental]
C C7 F Fm C G C
[Verse]
C N.C.
I've got darkness below me
F Fm
I need you to show me
C G C C
The way that I should behave
C C7
I been in my closet
F Fm
I shut it and locked it
C G C C7
Let me out, give me my chain, I'll be your slave
Am Dm
I've got rooms full of questions
E7 F
Quite a collection
C G C C7
But answers, I have only a few
Am Dm
Well, I could use your help
E7 F
Clearing off these shelves
C G C C7
And maybe find just a little bit of truth
[Chorus]
F Fm
Please forgive me
C
For the sinner I am
G
Treat me like a child
C C7
As I'm half a man
F
But please forgive me
C G Am
I stepped on the line in the sand
F G C
Now I'm trying just as hard as I can
F G C C7
Oh, I'm trying just as hard as I can
F G C C7
Lord, I'm trying just as hard as I can
