• You might say that I was irrational
    I say I was immature
    You might say I couldn't do no more wrong
    But you were in the right

    tab Chorus:
    You helped me out of this ditch that I dug for myself,
    you helped me get out of my world into realty,
    And I don't want to go back no more.

    You might say that I was never good at this,
    I say you have helped me all the time
    You might say that you did it cause you felt {pity on me}
    I say you did it from the heart

    tab [Chorus]

    tab **Bridge 1**
    You were there for me in my – in my hour of need
    You were stood up for me when I needed you the most
    I never told you this, but I – {owe you one}
    You never said this, but I could tell by the look in your eyes
    Some say that I'm a lowlife,
    You said that I would rise above them all
    Some say that I'm a criminal,
    but you said I was a saint.

    tab **2-bar Instrumental**

    That ditch has since been filled in,
    all my worries buried deep.
    You stood by me in all of my hardships,
    You helped keep me a float

    tab [Chorus x2]

    That world no longer exists
    I live in the here and now.
    I find peace in the music
    Peace in the music.

    I want to show how much you helped me,
    But I just don't know how.
    One by one I write the notes down,
    To sing my stories to you

    tab **Bridge 2**
    You were there for me in my hour of need
    You stood up for me when I needed you the most
    I never told you this, but I – (spoken)owe you one

    tab [Chorus x3, third time decrescendo to pianissimo]

    {Allegro}
    And that's the end of my story to all you folks,
    I don't regret leaving my world, because
    I don't want to go back no more
