           E         B         A
Since the day I was led to temptation
         E           B             A
And in weakness did let your love down
         E               B        A
I have prayed that with time and compassion
F#     A     B
You'd come around

CHORUS:
         E          A        B
I keep waiting for you to forgive me
         E                A          B
And you keep saying you can't even start
       E             A            E              B
And I feel like a stone you have picked up and thrown
         A         B             E
To the hard rock bottom of your heart
        A          B              E
To the hard rock bottom of your heart


          E            B               A
Now this home we have built is still standing
        E          B           A
It's foundation is on solid ground
       E            B            A
Do we roll up our sleeves and repair it
   F#   A   B
Or burn it down

Go to chorus
D               A           D             A
We can't just block it out  We've got to talk it out
D           A                 E     
Until our hearts get back in touch
D             E             D       E
I need your love I miss it  I can't go on like this is
F#m    A    B
Hurts too much

lead on chords E A B  E A B

go to chorus, repeat last two lines of chorus for ending.
