The Gates by Have Mercy:
Ab F#
You held her and said
C#m Emaj7
"I'm not worthy, but I'll try to be a better man."
B
"If you don't have the time then leave
C#m Emaj7 B
I've been waiting all year for something that was never really here."
F# C#m
"Well you were never really here."
Emaj7
Your nose and your throat
F#/E Edim F#dim/E C#dim
and everything that's in between
Emaj7 F#/E
Two eyes just like mine
Emaj7
A pair I wish could've seen
B C#m
The times you were the best you could be with me
B C#m
We were never meant to be
E (rings out)
We were happening
E C#m
You're a shallow hole and everyone can see
B C#m B C#m B
If I called you now would you be there to answer me?
C#m B
Cause I don't know if I would answer you
C#m E
When I cross the gates and I find you
Ab F#
Remember you said
C#m Emaj7
You're so nervous you're so tired
Cheap talk, unsteady walk
B
For such a pretty liar
C#m
Finding old souls to cast a mold
Emaj7 B
And then set fire
C#m E
And if you want I could take you higher and higher
E C#m
You're a shallow hole and everyone can see
B C#m B C#m B
If I called you now would you be there to answer me?

When I cross the gates and I find you

I don't know what I've been told
The road I walked was paved with gold

But oh, you didn't want to go
