Intro: G F2 (2x)

G                F2        G
No I didn't see this one coming
                  F2    G
It suddenly snuck up on me
             F2         G
I can't say you didn't tell me so
             F2             G
I can't say you didn't warn me


Chorus 1:
                  C                      G
I can't take the pain of knowing that I left You
        /F#       Em              D       G
I can't bear the shame of knowing I was wrong
                   C                         G
But I'll take the blame for everything that I've done
         /F#      Em              D    C
I can't take the pain of leaving you alone
                 G
Of leaving you alone

G F2 G F2 G F2

Verse 2(same as verse 1)
I was there when they accused you
But I guess I was too afraid
Not just once and not just twice
But three times I denied your name

repeat chorus 1

Em                     D/F# G                 D/F#
I never thought I'd get     even a second chance
Em                             D/F# G      D/F#
But you've given that and so much more
Em                    D/F# G            
And then for every time    I ever did deny
 C                             D
You ask me if I love you, You know I do, Lord

G F2 G F2 G F2 

Verse 3(same as 1 & 2)
So I'm off to follow in your steps
It won't be easy, it's safe to say
There are only two roads I can walk on down
The road less traveled is the one you paved

repeat chorus 1

Chorus 2:(same as chorus 1)
Lord, You took the pain even though I left You
And You took the shame and You made it all Your own
Why'd You take the blame for everything that I've done?
Lord, You took the pain
You and You alone, You and You alone 

G F2 G F2


End on a G chord
