i'm not a perfect person
                               G
as many things i wish i didn't do
                 Em
but i continue learning
                                     C
i never meant to do those things to you
                              D
and so i have to say before i go
                           G
that i just want you to know

                          Em
  i've found a reason for me
                           C
  to change who i used to be
                          D
  a to start over new
                     G
  and the reason is you

G                  Em
i'm sorry that i hurt you
                                      G
it's something i must live with everyday
                         Em
and all the pain i put you through
                                 C
i wish that i could take it all away
                                    D
and be the one who catches all your tears
                          G
that's why i need you to hear
