Knowing what Gary has been thru in the last year, 
This song is tremendously emotional! I looked it up
and after his wife's suicide, he started writing songs
again to heal and this is one of 4 on his latest CD.
Gary is one of the few remaining singer/songwriters on
my short list of people I love to listen to on the
mainstream circuit.


  D
I just got back from hell
        A              Bm
And I'm standin' here alive
  A                D 
I know it's really hard to tell
      G
Don't know how I survived
        A                  Bm
Well, I can't say that I'm doin' great 
      A               Bm  
But I think I'm doin' well
G 
That devil's gonna have to wait 
        A                  D     G
Cause I just got back from hell


Well I just got back from hell
And I guess to tell the truth
Well I've been mad at everyone
Including God and you
When you can't find no one to blame
You just blame yourself
And I know I'll never be the same
I just got back from hell


Chorus:
Bm Bm/A       G         G/F# 
Forgive me if I had any part
     Em              G/F#     G    A
If I ever broke your heart in two
Bm Bm/A        G             G/F# 
Forgive me for what I didn't know
    Em            G/F#   G
For what I didn't say or do
    G                 A 
And God forgive me as well
                           D     G  D  G
Cause I just got back from hell


Well, I just got back from hell
And I need to make some plans
It's the last thing that I wanna do 
But I'll do the best I can
I'm gonna learn to live again 
But I think I'll sit a spell
Tell the world that I'm alive
And I just got back from hell



Tag
I can't say that I'm doin' great 
But I think I'm gettin well
Gonna let the world know that I'm alive
And I just got back from hell
I just got back from hell
I just got back from hell
Got back from He-e-e-e-e-ee-e-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l
