Version 1Capo 1 (Optional) [Verse] G Am Okay so I was wrong about D My reasons for us fallin’ out G Of love I want to fall back in G Am My life is different now I swear D I know now what it means to care G About somebody other than myself G Am I know the things I said to you D They were untender and untrue G I’d like to see those things undo G Am So if you could find it in your heart D To give a man a second start G I promise things won’t end the same [Chorus] G C Shame, boatloads of shame Am D Day after day, more of the same G C Blame, please lift it off Am D Please take it off, please make it stop [Verse] G Am Okay so I have read the mail D The stories people often tell G About us that we never knew G Am But their existence will float away D And just like every word they say G And we will hold hands as they fade [Chorus] G C Shame, boatloads of shame Am D Day after day, more of the same G C Blame, please lift it off Am D Please take it off, please make it stop [Bridge] C Bm I felt so sure of everything Em My love to you so well received A And I just strutted around your town C Knowing I didn’t let you down Bm The truth be known, the truth be told Em My heart was always fairly cold A Posing to be as warm as yours C My way of getting in your world D But now I’m out and I’ve had time To look around and think Am And sink into another world D That’s filled with guilt and overwhelming [Chorus] G C Shame, boatloads of shame Am D Day after day, more of the same G C Blame, please lift it off Am D Please take it off, please make it stop G Am And everyone they have a heart D And when they break and fall apart G And need somebody’s helping hand G Am I used to say just let ’em fall D It wouldn’t bother me at all (G) I couldn’t help them now I can
