The chords can be played as barres or power-chords. I think orginally its played
as power-chords, but barres sound nice, too.
 
verse 1:
     Dm
Your eyes were not blind still you could not see
  Bb
A danger that you could not stop and not feel
          Gm		                F
All these questions 'bout "heaven knows why"
                       A
Lost their meaning somehow
 
But I still wanna know how you felt
         Dm
When you stood all alone at the edge of your life
	   Bb
And you've made your own choice between darkness and light
       Gm
And prepaired yourself for the end
F		            A
Your step right out of your life
 
 
refrain:
        Dm			             Bb
And I'm sorry that I could not take all your worries
		       F
You said goodbye to it all
			       A
And your weakest hour made you fall
        Dm		                    Bb
And I'm sorry that I left you with all your worries
		               F
Please don't blame me for your fall
		             A               Dm
Could I've ever saved you at all?
 
 
verse 2:
  Dm
I thought we could meet up half way
    Bb
But damn you were already gone
   Gm		           F
Prefering to walk that way all alone
    A
But tell me now who had won?
        Dm
There's so much that I could have shown you
   Bb
So many things left undone
    Gm		               F
All you did could have been forgiven
    A
But you didn't get along
 
 
refrain:
        Dm			             Bb
And I'm sorry that I could not take all your worries
		       F
You said goodbye to it all
			       A
And your weakest hour made you fall
        Dm		                    Bb
And I'm sorry that I left you with all your worries
		               F
Please don't blame me for your fall
		             A               Dm
Could I've ever saved you at all?
