Take your time, [A] [D] [E]
tell me slow, [A] [G] [E]
[G] [A] should I stay?
[G] [E] We both know you thought you knew what I was just [Gm] about to say, but you did [Db] not know and

[B] I've been looking back over my shoulder.
[G] [A] It's not you that I have got to blame.
[D] [E] If I could do [Bb] all [B] this all over, I wouldn't do [E] nothing the same.

Trying [Gm] to [E] find [A] [Em] some kind of way [E] to cope.
[A] [Em] I've got to [A] admit,
[G] [E] it ain't so much the despair [Cm] that gets [D] you, as it is the hope.
Lord, [E] there's always hope, I tell [B] you.
When I found myself in possession of these car [A] keys, I just [E] naturally assumed that I could [Em] drive.
