[Intro]
Ebm  Db  Bm  Abm


[Verse]
Ebm    Db  B     Abm
I must do, what is right
Ebm          Db       B     Abm
reveal the truth, bring it to light
Ebm             Db  B        Abm
Why must this curse fall on me?
Ebm          Db     B    Abm
My friend is not my enemy


[Chorus]
     B
If I must betray
               Db
this man I’ve known for years
         Db               Abm
it will live with me till I die
            B                 Db       Ebm
I won’t forgive myself however hard I try


[Verse]
  Ebm                       Db
I know that I don’t have a choice
         B                          Abm
But this voice keeps pleading in my soul
     Db            Ebm                          Db
It’s begging me to hold back, forget and let this go
       B                       Abm
but I know that I must take control


[Chorus]
     B                          Db                      Db                Abm
So I must betray this man I’ve known for years, it will live with me till I die
             B             Db          Ebm
I won’t forgive myself however hard I try


[Bridge]
Ebm            Db                  Ebm
This is all my fault, why didn't I stay
       B                   Abm        Db
try to sway him, make him change his mind
 Abm                     Ebm               B       Db
I walked away, thought I had more time why did I wait
Fm                Eb                        Fm
Now it’s all too late and the only way that I
    Db       Fm          Eb
can try to make things right
        Bb       Fm                 Db              Eb
is by exposing what he’s done and let them take his life


[Chorus]
      Db                         Eb                     Eb               Bb
As I must betray this man I’ve loved for years it will live with me till I die
            Db            Eb          Fm
I won’t forgive myself however hard I try
               Fm
however hard I try
