            Capo 1 (Optional)


[Verse]

G                    Am
Okay so I was wrong about
                          D
My reasons for us fallin’ out
                            G
Of love I want to fall back in

G                           Am
My life is different now I swear
                            D
I know now what it means to care
                          G
About somebody other than myself

G                           Am
I know the things I said to you
                       D
They were untender and untrue
                             G
I’d like to see those things undo

G                               Am
So if you could find it in your heart
                       D
To give a man a second start
                               G
I promise things won’t end the same


[Chorus]

G                   C
Shame, boatloads of shame
          Am               D
Day after day, more of the same
G                      C
Blame, please lift it off
               Am                  D
Please take it off, please make it stop


[Verse]

G                       Am
Okay so I have read the mail
                         D 
The stories people often tell
                       G
About us that we never knew

G                              Am
But their existence will float away
                              D 
And just like every word they say
                               G
And we will hold hands as they fade


[Chorus]

G                   C
Shame, boatloads of shame
          Am               D
Day after day, more of the same
G                     C
Blame, please lift it off
               Am                  D
Please take it off, please make it stop


[Bridge]

C                       Bm
I felt so sure of everything
                       Em
My love to you so well received
                                A
And I just strutted around your town
                          C
Knowing I didn’t let you down
                                  Bm
The truth be known, the truth be told
                            Em
My heart was always fairly cold
                        A
Posing to be as warm as yours
                          C
My way of getting in your world
                              D
But now I’m out and I’ve had time
                    
To look around and think
    Am 
And sink into another world
        D               
That’s filled with guilt and overwhelming


[Chorus]

G                   C
Shame, boatloads of shame
          Am               D
Day after day, more of the same
G                     C
Blame, please lift it off
               Am                  D
Please take it off, please make it stop

G                        Am
And everyone they have a heart
                             D
And when they break and fall apart
                            G
And need somebody’s helping hand

G                          Am
I used to say just let ’em fall
                         D
It wouldn’t bother me at all
                           (G)
I couldn’t help them now I can
