(C) I realize how difficult it is for you to take me as I (D) am 
And (G) knowin' that you're not the first to love me makes the difference in a (C) man 
But I feel no shame or guilty conscience knowing the way my moral (D) stand 
But my (G) one big mistake in life is lettin’ down my strength 
Just to satisfy the weakness in a (C) man. 

So (F) here I am (G) now you're all of my yester(C)days 
Just (F) take my hand (G) if you can't see yourself with (D) me 

I (C) know my past must hurt you but baby I do the best I (D) can 
To (G) live with things I did before without a wedding ring upon my (C) hand 
Oh you know it seems so funny that the story should end as it (D) began 
But my (G) one big mistake in life was lettin’ down my strength 
Just to satisfy the weakness in a (C) man.
