Capo: 1 Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb

Aaron performs this song live every time with an extraordinary intensity. He referred during a live performance in Los Angeles to having written this masterpiece just before leaving for rehab. Brought tears to my eyes. Can be played as the original HALF STEP DOWN with CAPO on 1st like Aaron does or STANDARD tune no CAPO.

I've been ^Dshattered and broken, for ^Amost of my life But I've ^Bmdone pretty good, with a ^Gjob and a wife Got a ^Dfamily that loves me, and a ^Agood piece of land That I ^Bmbought with hard work, that ^GI earned with these hands ^A7sus4 ^Em7

[Riff]

But these things that I ^Gdo ^A7sus4 ^Em7 I did them for ^Gyou ^A

[Chorus]

So just ^Bmtell me you love me, and ^Gtell me you'll stay And you'll ^Dwatch over this house, while ^AI go away And just ^Bmpromise to be here, when ^GI get back home So we can ^Dstart where we left off, all ^Athose years ago Before my ^Gdemons ^A7sus4they took ^Bmcontrol Lost and ^Glonely, out ^Ahere on the ^Droad

[Instrumental] D A Bm G D A Bm G [Verse]

'Cause I've been ^Dcareless and selfish, got ^Ano self respect I'm an ^Bmalbatross hanging ^Garound my own neck I'm a ^Dhard one to handle, ^Aand I've played the fool And I'm ^Bmso hard to love, 'cause I ^Gbreak all the rules ^A7sus4 ^Em7

[Riff]

But these things that I ^Gdo ^A7sus4 ^Em7 'Cause I couldn't ^Ghave ^Ayou
