Verse 

D                            C 
Once upon a time a stutter disgusted me 
Eb                                    F            C       D 
muttered distrust at me, pity you couldn’t fly 
D                            C 
I’ve only ever taken what’s mine 
Eb                                    F             C       
So what if I help you, I’m helping myself, too? 


Verse 

D                            C 
Twice I got the wind knocked out of me, why? 
Eb                                                F                 C       
Just to curl up and die? No, I’ve got too much pride. 
    D                         C 
So I breathe it in then let it out slow, 
       Eb                              F            C       
When I turn to go, find you falling behind.

Forgive me for leaving my spot 
Bb  Dm              C                Gm           Bb 
Not standing in w8 while you finish the race 
                 Dm                                D 
with those two broken legs you’ve got. 


D                       F 
One thing’s for sure… 
              Gm               Bb                      D 
If I were you I never would have let it stop me,

I never have before.

And if you knew what I went through while trying to get through to you,  
                         F 
you’d thank me!

You’d get down on one knee, no matter how much it hurt 
      Eb                 Bb              C                         F      Eb 
And you would say “I’m sorry”, but I would say it first…

D                                     C                       
Once, the two of us were eye for an eye 
              Eb                   F                      C    D 
Now I’ve given up trying how could I be so blind?

You’ll never let me settle the score

I might as well have saved my luck 
Bb  Dm              C                Gm           Bb 
Not wasted it all on some shortsighted, know-it-all 
                 Dm                                D 
so-called friends, you’re not.

One thing’s for sure… 
              Gm               Bb                      D 
If I were you I never would have let it stop me,

you’d thank me!

You’d find me in a dream, on some uncharted map 
   Eb                 Bb              C                                  F      Eb 
And I would say I’m sorry, and you would want me back…

Once the world was just a web and a spider, and so was I.
