Chords for Blue October / The Worry List (acoustic)

_ _ _ _ [G] [A] The blank [Am] release in my head, _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] the burning in my pride,
the nervous [D] spinning in my brain,
[Bm] and [E] I'm so peaceful.
[G] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
I'm tired, twisted, [F#] barely [F#m] breathing, buried in the [Em] dark.
_ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ Don't be concerned.
[Bm] It's the power [F#m] of a breaking [Em] heart.
I'm all alone.
_ _ _ [C] Ooh, how good am I [G] hiding it?
I've got some bad [F#] intentions.
[F#m] Guilty, yeah, I've been [Em] charged.
Still standing stable, [C] more than able,
because I know [A] who you are.
I know the birthdays, _
[Bm] _ [F#m] anniversaries, all the first
days that [Em] I missed.
And I regret them all, [C] but _ _ now I know this.
_ _ I know that God [D] exists.
I held her in my [G] arms. _
I never [D] knew I was [Em] able to ever feel this strong.
[C] Take me off your worry list.
[D] It'll be better that way.
And I'm [G] doing fine and more.
[D] There's nothing we [E] haven't talked [Em] about. _ _
[C] So take me off your worry list.
[D] Just throw it away.
_ [G] Because she is what my life is about.
I might have been gone, but I never _ _ _ _ was.
_ [F#] Oh.
[D] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ Oh, oh, oh, oh, [C] oh.
_ _ _ _ [G] _
I've taken a thousand [Bm] red [F#m] eyes to change your point of [Em] view.
What kind of man would take the [C] trust you break
and still follow [G] through?
Well, he's standing [E] right here.
[B] [F#m] You may not show up.
[Em] It's the same gate 14 [Gm] where, honestly, [C] I'm just
sick of calling you [G] bluff.
And it's just embarrassing [B] that [F#m] I nearly threw up.
And [Em] while I'm trying [A] hard to [C] change this, I always screw up.
[G] _ And at the top of my [F#] list, [F#m] this visitation [Em] is no relationship.
_ I [C] got to make the best of it. _
Because I know, _ I know that God [D] exists.
I held her in my [G] arms.
I never [D] knew I was [Em] able to ever feel this [C] strong.
