Intro:

-----  x2


Verse:

           
open up and let me in
                    
i was lucky to live, dont need to win
                    
forgave myself and if that's a sin
                   
it's not enough you'd even know it
             
you did right to call my bluff
   	      
'cause i wont say when i've had enough
 		
and i worked so hard to need this stuff
                   
and you tried so long to just ignore it


Chorus:

                 
           wont you come   down        where i am
                
           word are hidden,            understand

   

Verse:
               
i wont repeat myself again
                 
i will not repeat myself again
             
it's another promise d.o.a.
                  
and despite my every hope
                         
there is no truth behind my best intentioned oath


Chorus:

                 
           won't you come       down where i am
                
	   words are hidden,    understand
                 (hold........)
	   won't you come       down
       (still holding A chord........)
	   been away too long i know i have
