Intro: Am (hammer on the 1st finger) - G - Am - F

Verse I
Am                           G
I got lost out there in this world
              Am                     F
Looking for a brand new way to fall down
Am                        Asus2  G
It's no surprise that things got worse
Am                           F
I thank God you never let me drown


Chorus
                    C                     G
But I didn't have to lie to myself for so long
                 Am                    G
I didn't have to let myself get so far gone
                 C                           G
I didn't have to make the ones I love feel so alone
                 F
I didn't have to die to go to heaven
G
I just had to go home

Verse II
            Am             Asus2  G
While I was having the time of my life
           Am                       F
I think my soul died a little every day
Am
I always called to say I'm sorry
                  G
You said it's okay, but you should be
F                               G
Through it all you never walked away

Chorus

I didn't have to let myself get so far gone
                 C                           G
I didn't have to make the ones I love feel so alone
                 F
I didn't have to die to go to heaven
G
I just had to go home

Bridge
Am       G              F
Into the arms of my angel
         C          G      Am
Into the peace I've left behind
                G
All I had to do to save my own life
F                     G
Was to look into your eyes

I didn't have to let myself get so far gone
                 C                           G
I didn't have to make the ones I love feel so alone

I didn't have to die to go to heaven
G
I just had to go home
