So Far Gone (James Blunt)

Intro A

A
Tell me the wars you're fighting
D
Behind the smile you're hiding
F#m E D
All the things I know you want to say

A
We tried our best to find us
D
But there are no lights to guide us
F#m E D
I can't sleep beside a stranger now


C#m Bm
Piece by piece we fall apart
C#m Bm E
With every beat slows down my heart

D A E
So I'll just say what you won't say
D F#m E
And I'll take the blame if it is for your sake
D A E
No turning back on what you can't save
D
So far gone
E
Yeah, we're so far gone


A
I've tried hard to remember
D
This prison cell used to be a shelter
F#m E D
Now we're just looking for the best way out

C#m Bm
I can't fight you anymore
C#m Bm E
You’re already one foot out the door

D A E
So I'll just say what you won't say
D F#m E
And I'll take the blame if it is for your sake
D A E
No turning back on what you can't save
D
We're so far gone
E
Yeah, we're so far gone

Bm A E
And this is the face of letting go
Bm A E
And these are things we already know

D A E
So I'll just say what you won't say
D F#m E
And I'll take the blame if it is for your sake
D A E
No turning back on what you can't save
D E
We're so far gone

D A E
So I'll just say what you won't say
D F#m E
And I'll take the blame if it is for your sake
D A E
No turning back on what you can't save
D
We’re so far gone
Bm
Yeah, we're so far gone
E
Yes we're so far gone

Same Mistake (James Blunt)

G D Dm

G
So while I'm turning in my sheets
Em
And once again I cannot sleep

Walk out the door and up the street
C
Look at the stars beneath my feet

Remember rights that I did wrong
G
So here I go

Hello, hello
Em
There is no place I cannot go

My mind is muddy but
C
My heart is heavy does it show

I lose the track that loses me
G
So here I go
Em C
uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu
G
And so I sent some men to fight
Em
And one came back at dead of night

Said he'd seen my enemy
C
Said he looked just like me

So I set out to cut myself
G
And here I go
Em C G D
uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu
C G
I'm not calling for a second chance
Bm Em
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
C G
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
Am C G
Cause I'll just make the same mistake again

uhuuuu

And maybe someday we will meet
Em
And maybe talk and not just speak

Dont buy the promises cause
C
There are no promises I keep

And my reflection troubles me
G
So here I go
Em C G D
uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu
C G
I'm not calling for a second chance
D Em
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
C G
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
Am C
Cause I'll just make the same mistake
G
I'm not calling for a second chance
D Em
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
C G
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
Am C G
Cause I'll just make the same mistake again
Em C
uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu
G Em
uhuuuu So while I'm turning in my sheets
C
uhuuuu And once again I cannot sleep
G
uhuuuu Walk out the door and up the street

uhuuuu Look at the stars
Em C
uhuuuu Look at the stars falling down

uhuuuu And I wonder where
G
uhuuuu Did I go wrong

Goodbye My Lover (James Blunt) (Verse 3)

C Am
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
F F
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?

So I took what's mine by eternal right.

Took your soul out into the night.

It may be over but it won't stop there,

!Chords are the same as the previous verse unless stated!

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
