Verse 1:
Am     G             F               C    C
In my defence all my intentions were good
Am               G                   F             G
And heaven knows a place somewhere for the misunderstood
Dm                     C                F            G
You know I'd give you blood if it'd be enough

Verse 2:
Am            G                     F      C    C
Devil's on my doorstep since the day I was born
Am                  G              F        G
It's hard to find a sunset in the eye of a storm
Dm                    C                    F
But I'm a dreamer by design and I know in time
               G      G7
We'll put this behind

Chorus:
C             C       Am              G
For what it's worth I'm sorry for the hurt
          F              Em            Dm            G
I'll be the first to say, I made my own mistakes
C             C      Am               G
For what it's worth I know it's just a word
          D
And words betray
F                 G   C
Sometimes we lose our way
Am            G    F
For what it's worth

Interlude: G C C

Verse 3:
Am           G                F           C       C
Behind the lens is a poisoned picture you paint
Am              G                     F            G
And let's not pretend you were ever searching for saints
Dm                    C                 F           G
Cos I've been crucified for just being alive

Verse 4:
Am                G                 F         C      C
Somewhere in the crossfire of this whispering war
Am             G                F            G
Seems like I forgot just what I was fighting for
Dm                  C                      F
But underneath my skin there's a fire within
        G    G7
Still burning

Chorus:
C             C       Am              G
For what it's worth I'm sorry for the hurt
          F             Em            Dm            G
I'll be the first to say I made my own mistakes
C             C      Am               G
For what it's worth I know it's just a word
          D
And words betray
F                 G   C
Sometimes we lose our way
Am            G    F
For what it's worth

Interlude: G C C

Bridge:
D7                F                   C       C
The first bird to fly gets all the arrows
D7                     F                     C       C
Let's leave the past behind with all our sorrows
D7                   F                    C    C     Am
I'll build a bridge between us and I'll swallow my pride

Interlude: G G F G

Chorus:
C             C       Am              G
For what it's worth I'm sorry for the hurt
          F             Em            Dm            G
I'll be the first to say I made my own mistakes
C             C      Am               G
For what it's worth I know it's just a word
          D
And words betray
F                 G   C
Sometimes we lose our way
Am            G    F         G     C
For what it's worth
