(Bm)I (Gmaj7)was (Am7)dead (Em)wrong all a long. You (Em)said (Bm)it (Gmaj7)for (Am7)my sake, that I would not lose my way when I was a stray. I’m (C6/9)do ing the best that I could, (C6/9)try ing my best to be un der stood. (C6/9)May be I’m chang ing slow ly. I’d get out, turn a round if on ly I (Em)knew (Bm)I (Gmaj7)was (Am7)dead (Em)wrong all a long. You (Em)said (Bm)it (Gmaj7)for (Am7)my sake, that I would not lose my way when I was dead wrong all a long. (Am)Mine is not a new sto ry. (Am)Mine is not a new sto ry. (Am)Mine is noth ing new, but it is (C)for (Em)me. (Bm7)And (Em)so (Bm)I (Gmaj7)was (Am7)dead (Em)wrong all a long. You (Em)said (Bm)it (Gmaj7)for (Am7)my sake. Yeah, you thought I lost my way when I was dead wrong all a long. You (Em)said (Bm)it (Gmaj7)for my sake, that I would not lose my way. Did I real ly lose my way, or are you a fraid?
