[Verse]
Eb Cm Eb Ab
All things fade into dark green water down by the lake
Cm Eb Ab Cm
Mistakes were made and that's the heart of this pain
Eb Ab Eb
But I'll rejoice, I won't give
anything
Eb Cm Eb
But forgiveness once you have the courage to explain
Cm Ab
I learned this phrase from my father
Cm Ab Eb Gm
He said "no perfection can ever bring joy"
Cm Ab
Or, "there's none without it"
Cm Ab Eb Ab
Like a life that has a start but no end
Eb Cm Eb Ab Cm Eb Ab Cm
All aspiring comes with equal consequence, like some things we abuse and the joys they prevent
Eb Ab Eb Eb Cm Eb
And I'll numb or stall all fall and pretend that dark water will cloak all our deepest intent
Cm Ab
I said, you got this heart from your Mother
Cm Ab Eb Gm
She bears all our suffering through the longest of years, too long lately,
Cm Ab Eb Ab
Like a life that has a start but no end
I fear flawless life in a pure sense. Hold on best I can to a place where:
Ab Cm Eb Ab
All things fade into dark green water down by the lake
Cm Eb Ab Cm
Mistakes were made and that's the heart of this pain
Eb Ab
But I'll reflect
Eb Cm Eb
I won't ask anything but forgiveness once I have the courage to explain
