James Hilton - Hell I Paid

CAPO: 3rd FRET
 
[Intro]
Gm Bm C Gm
 
 
[Verse]
GmI've been down roads that don't come back
CLost myself in all that black
CWore a smile I didn't mean
G GmBuried truth so it couldn't be seen
 
GmI drank too much I ran too fast
CChased a future built to crash
CBut through the smoke and all that pain
G GmI kept on walking through the rain
 
 
[Chorus]
GmI've loved and I lost
 
I begged and I prayed
GScreamed at the sky threw it all in space
CBut even when I turned away
CMercy found me in the rain
 
GmNow I hear you whisper clear
GAnd every scar and every tear
CMy pain had a reason
CIt led me to this version of me
Gm C C GmStanding here now
 
 
[Verse]
GmI've done things I don't talk about
g
Spent years tryna drown 'em out
CWoke up broke on bathroom floors
G GmJust to fall again through different doors
 
GmBut grace don't need a perfect soul
CJust a heart that's not too cold
CAnd when I thought I'd lost it all
G GmThat's when I heard the Angels call
 
 
[Chorus]
GmI've loved and I lost
 
I begged and I prayed
GSlammed that bottle down and cursed His name
CBut somehow mercy always stayed
CThrough broken nights and empty days
 
GmNow I hear you whisper clear
GAnd every mile and every year
CMy pain had a reason
CIt brought me around to this version of me
Gm GmStanding here now
 
 
[Chorus]
G CI'm not perfect but I'm trying
C GmAin't a saint but I ain't lying
G CI made peace with who I was
CAnd I ain't ashamed because
 
 
[Chorus]
GmYeah, I've loved and I lost
 
I begged and I prayed
GWalked through hell and I still got faith
CBut somehow mercy always came
CIn broken songs and pouring rain
 
GmNow I hear you whisper clear
GAnd every note that brought me here
CMy pain had a reason and I see it now
CIn this version of me
 
Gm C C GmStanding here proud
