Capo 2

       D         A        D
I came close, so close to failure
       D        A       D
I came close to living alone
           G                            D
I know the kids still love me and their mama
           D           A         D  
But I came so close to losing my home

       G                             D 
I felt small enough to drown in each teardrop
         E7                   A 
But big enough to admit I was wrong
       G                                     D
When I think of what I've done, a chill runs through me
              D           A         D 
'Cause I came so close to losing my home


I felt small enough to drown in each teardrop
But big enough to admit I was wrong
When I think of what I've done the cheer runs through me
'Cause I came so close to losing my home.

I came so close to losing my home...
