Tom : D
Intro: D G D G
D G D G
Just when I thought I had handles on this
D G D G
I could soften my guard behind false confidence
D G D G
Just when I found humble pie insipid
D G D G
Exempt from this blind side and firmly in its grip
D G D G
Cause I am seduced by reaction and under the influence
D G D G D
I'm slipping again I'm up to my tricks, off my wagon
G A G
I have no defense, I'm reaking havoc
A G D
wreaking havoc in consequence
D G D G
I get reduced by my own willfulness as
D G D G
I reach for my usual god replacements
D G D G
Cause I am rich with sanction and lax in my steps
[CHORUS]
Bm G Bm G Bm G Bm
If forgiveness is understanding I
G A G
Offer mea culpa for the millionth time
A G D
On this toppling house of cards of mine
I am beaten by my impulsiveness
By this uncanny foreshadowing of regret
Cause I'm repulsed by restriction, at least that's my excuse
[CHORUS 2x]
