This song is from the album Smoke + Mirrors(2015), released on Feb 17, 2015.
I loved everything about this song. The production was beautiful, the lyrics are meaningful and the performance was powerful. The choruses were done really well, especially with the harmonies that made the song even better. I kinda expected a guitar solo somewhere in between the song, that would have taken the song to another level. The bass felt adequate, but it lacked that certain “Wow” factor.

I'm sorry for everything, no, everything I've done

[INSTRUMENTAL] Bm A 
[INSTRUMENTAL] G Bm Asus4 A

G           Bm                      Asus4
Am I out of touch? Am I out of my place?
                                A
When I keep sayin' that I'm lookin' for an empty space
G                           Bm                     Asus4
Oh I'm wishin' you're here, but I'm wishin' you're gone
                          A
I can't have you and I'm only gonna do you wrong

[PRE-CHORUS]
G                            Bm
Oh, I'm gonna mess this up, oh, this is just my luck
Asus4              A
Over and over and over again

[CHORUS]
D
I'm sorry for everything, no, everything I've done
D
From the second that I was born and since I had a loaded gun
            Bm
And then I shot, shot, shot a hole through everything I loved
      A
Oh I shot, shot, shot a hole through every single thing that I loved

[INSTRUMENTAL] G Bm Asus4 A

G                 Bm                 Asus4
Am I out of luck? Am I waiting to break?
                              A
When I keep sayin' that I'm lookin' for a way to escape
G                 Bm                      Asus4
Oh I'm wishin' I had what I'm takin' for granted
A
I can't have you and I'm only gonna do you wrong

[PRE-CHORUS]
G                            Bm
Oh, I'm gonna mess this up, oh, this is just my luck
Asus4              A
Over and over and over again

[CHORUS]
D
I'm sorry for everything, no, everything I've done

From the second that I was born and since I had a loaded gun
            Bm
And then I shot, shot, shot a hole through everything I loved
      A
Oh I shot, shot, shot a hole through every single thing that I loved

D
In the mean time, we let it go
D
At the road sign we used to know
        G
We can let this drift away
     Em
Oh we let this drift away
        D
At the bay side, we used to shore
D
In the moonlight, we let it go
        G
We can let this drift away
G
Oh we let this drift away
       Bm
Cause you've always got to change your mind
Bm
Cause you've always got to change your mind
    A
Oh love, can you hear me?
A
Oh let it drift away

[CHORUS]
D
I'm sorry for everything, no, everything I've done

And then I shot, shot, shot a hole through everything I loved

Oh I shot, shot, shot a hole through every single thing that I loved
