Lyrics

In this fare well

there’s no blood,

there’s no al i bi,

’cause I’ve drawn re (Gm)gret

from the truth

of a thou sand lies.

So let mer cy (Ebmaj7)come

and wash a (Fsus2)way

what I’ve (Gm)done.

I’ll (Bb6)face my self

to cross out what (Csus2)I’ve be (Gm)come,

e (Bb6)rase my self

and let go of (Csus2)what I’ve (Gm)done.

Put to rest

what you thought of me.

Well, I clean this (Gm)slate

with the hands

of un cer tain ty.

So let mer cy (Ebmaj7)come

and wash a (Fsus2)way

what I’ve (Gm)done.

I’ll (Bb6)face my self

to cross out what (Csus2)I’ve be (Gm)come,

e (Bb6)rase my self

and let go of (Csus2)what I’ve (Gm)done.

Put to rest

what you thought (C5)what

(Eb5)I’ve

(Gm)done.

For (Ebmaj7)what (F6)I’ve (Gm)done,

I (Bb6)start a gain,

and what ev er (Csus2)pain may (Gm)come,

to (Bb6)day this ends.

I’m for giv ing (C5)what

I’ve

(Gm)done.

I’ll (Bb6)face my self

to cross out what (Csus2)I’ve be (Gm)come,

e (Bb6)rase my self

and let go of (Csus2)what I’ve (Gm)done,

(Csus2)what I’ve (Gm)done,

(Csus2)what I’ve

for giv ing (Csus2)what I’ve (Gm)done.
