Verse1
  D        G           D                   G
Sacrifices never made, desparate prayers I left unprayed
  D             G          D         A
Forgiveness not asked for, love not confessed
  D          G           D            G
Compromises all refused, coat of armor not removed
  D          G           D          A
Everything guarded till nothing was left
         Bm                      G
But the image of a face I can't forget
     Bm                    A-Asus-A
The bitter, lasting taste of my regret


Chorus
   D            A          Bm         G
What I wouldn't give to be younger and wiser
   D            A          Bm         G
What I wouldn't give to be yours once more
   D            A          Bm        Bm - A
What I wouldn't give to be less of a miser
   G                         A     D - G etc.
And give you what I wouldn't give before.


Verse2

All the lines I wouldn't cross, battles won while love was lost
I built my fortress with blood, sweat and fears
Terrified you'd run away, I made sure you couldn't stay
I packed all your bags, I cried all your tears
I locked the door behind you and I knew
I'd give anything just to be with you.

(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge
Bm             G
My situation's tragic
Bm                 G
My condition is so sad
Bm              G
What I wouldn't give you
     E          F#m
Cost all that I had

(Jam over the verse)

(Repeat Chorus 2x)
