Forgiven
Relient k
Five Score and Seven Years Ago
Intro - Piano
[Verse 1:]
Eb F#
Oh yes, I know this tension that you speak of
Ab B Eb
We're in the palm of a hand making a fist
Eb F#
It'd be best for one of us to speak up
Ab B Eb
But we prefer to pretend it does not exist
[Pre-Chorus:]
C# B
And you can't see past the blood on my hands
Bb
To see that you've been aptly damned
Eb/D
To fail and fail again
[Chorus:]
Eb Ab
Cause we're all guilty of the same things
Cm Bb
We think the thoughts whether or not we see them through
Eb Ab
And I know that I have been forgiven
Cm Bb
And I just hope you can forgive me too
[Verse 2:]
Eb
So don't you dare blame me for
Prying open the door
F#
That's unleashed the bitterness
That's here in the midst of this
Ab B Eb
Sometimes we live for no one but ourselves
And what we've been striving for
Has turned into nothing more
F#
Than bodies limp on the floor
Victims of falling short
Ab B Eb
We kiss goodbye the cheek of our true love
[Pre-Chorus 2:]
(strum on the off beat until D#)
C# B
And you can't see past the blood on my hands
Bb
To see that you've been aptly damned
Eb/D
To fail and fail again
[Chorus:]
Eb Ab
Cause we're all guilty of the same things
Cm Bb
We think the thoughts whether or not we see them through
Ab Ab
And I know that I have been forgiven
Cm Bb
And I just hope you can forgive me too
Bridge - (same as verse) Eb F# Ab B Eb
[Pre-Chorus:]
C# B
And you can't see past the blood on my hands
Bb
To see that you've been aptly damned
Eb/D
To fail and fail again
[Chorus:]
Eb Ab
Cause we're all guilty of the same things
Cm Bb
We think the thoughts whether or not we see them through
Eb Ab
And I know that I have been forgiven
Cm Ab
And I just hope you can forgive me too
Outro - Eb F# Ab B Eb (same as verse)
Then - Eb F# Ab and end on Eb
