Can't Take The Pain

(intro) G - C G 2x
(vs.1)
G                C       G
No, I didn't see this one coming
G                 C     G
It suddenly snuck up on me
G               C        G
I can't say you didn't tell me so
G               C        G
I can't say you didn't warn me
(chorus-1)
                 Em                         G
I can't take the pain of knowing that I left You
                 Em                     G
I can't bear the shame of knowing I was wrong
                  Em                             G
But I'll take the blame for everything that I've done
                 Em                  C
I can't take the pain of leaving you alone          High e|---10--------/

I was there when they accused you                           /
G                 C      G                                 /
But I guess I was too afraid        ______________________/

Not just once and not just twice
G              C      G
But three times I denied your name
(chorus-1)
(bridge)
Em                     G
I never thought I'd get even a second chance
Em                                G
But you've given that and so much more
Em                     G
And then for every time I ever did deny
Em                     G          D
You ask if I love you, You know I do, Lord
(vs.3)
G               C     G
So I'm off to follow in your steps
G                      C       G
It won't be easy, it's safe to say
G                     C         G
There are only two roads I can walk on down
G                     C     G
The road less traveld is the one you paved
(chorus-1)
(chorus-2)
                   Em                      G
Lord, You took the pain even though I left You
                 Em                            G
And You took the shame and You made it all Your own
                   Em                            G
Why'd You take the blame for everything that I've done?
                   Em
Lord, You took the pain
            C                  G
You and You alone, You and You alone
