A#         Dm                  Gm
I’ve been battered, I’ve been bruised
A#            Dm            Gm
And though I know it’s no excuse
A#    Dm            Gm
For you I know I’m right
         F
And in another place, in another time

I'll buy you flowers, I'd build a home
Right now can't pay the bills, I cannot go
Can't give you anything you need
But maybe if you'll meet me further down the line

                                             D#
‘Cause you’re the right person at the wrong time

Chorus:
        A#            F
I wanna run into the light
                      D#
And leave the dark behind
         A#                  F
I wanna break the chains of life
                      Cm
With you right by my side
    D# Gm
So oh
                            Cm
You gotta meet me down the line
    D# Gm
So oh
You gotta meet me down the line

I'm easily dazed, I'm so confused
It's hurting me and I'm hurting you
Despite everything you do
You're gonna have to meet me further down the line

Cause you're the right person at the wrong time

Chorus

                    Gm
You’ve been trying hard
            D#           A#
To make me feel a little better
  D                 Gm
It’s gonna take a while
            D#            A#
To make me feel a little better

           D        Gm                D#        A#
And I’ll try, try, try, try a little harder oh yeah
       F
And I swear, swear, swear
                            D#
I’m gonna lift you further ohhhh

Chorus

So oh
You gotta meet me down the line

I'm easily dazed, I'm so confused
It's hurting me and I'm hurting you
