Am
I'm holding on your rope,
F

G
Got me ten feet off the ground
Am

C G
I'm hearing what you say but I just can't make a sound
Am
You tell me that you need me
F
C
G
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
Am
You tell me that you're sorry
F
C
G
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...
Am
F
C
G
that it's too late to apologise, it's too late
Am
F
C
G
I said it's too late to apologise, it's too late
Verse 2:
Am
F
I'd take another chance, take a fall
C G
Take a shot for you
Am
F
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
C G
But it's nothing new - yeah
Am
F
I love you with a fire red
C
G
now it's turning blue .. and you say
Am
F
C
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
G
But I'm afraid...
