A#  Am  G
A#  Am  G

[Verse]
G            D/F#
Painted as a victim
G7                    C
He said you caused it all
G        D/F#
Lying to convince them
 G7                    C
So you would take the fall

[Bridge]
C                 D
You walked out on nothin'
       C                 D
Hoping for some peace of mind

[Chorus]
    D#      F      G
The pain is almost over
    D#      F      Em9
The hurt is nearly gone
        D#      F         G
No more looking over your shoulder
     D#      F     G
It's time to carry on

[Verse]
G                D/F#
Scars won't last forever
G7                    C
The truth will take their place
      G             D/F#
Angry words will be forgotten
 G7                 C
Contempt will fade away

[Bridge]
    C             D
The promise of tomorrow
   C           D
It will always remain

[Chorus]
    D#      F      G
The pain is almost over
    D#      F      Em9
The hurt is nearly gone
        D#      F         G
No more looking over your shoulder
     D#      F     G
It's time to carry on

[Instrumental]
G  D  G7  C
G  D  G7  C

[Bridge]
    C             D
The promise of tomorrow
        C       D
It will always remain

[Chorus]
    D#      F      G
The pain is almost over
    D#      F      Em9
The hurt is nearly gone
        D#      F         G
No more looking over your shoulder
     D#      F     G
It's time to carry on
     D#      F     G
It's time to carry on
     A#      Am    G
