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