This song is from the album Smoke + Mirrors(2015).
Excellent production and powerful singing is what makes this song so beautiful. The tempo and the rhythm are perfect. The lyrics make the song even more wonderful. The way that this song has been rendered is really interesting. The chords and really easy and the background choruses make it so much more interesting. I expected a break in between and the song starting again, sadly that part was not present. But overall, this is a great song that needs to be on your playlist.

[VERSE]
Bbm         Ab               C#             F#
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
Bbm       Ab             C#
I know I let you down, didn't I?  
Bbm        Ab                   C#             F#

Well I'm just a slave unto the night
[PRE-CHORUS]
Bbm            Ab                    C#               F#
Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me
Bbm            Ab                    C#
Remember when I broke you down to tears

I've been around the world and never in my wildest dreams

Would I come running home to you
Bbm          Ab               C#           F#
I've told a million lies but now I tell a single truth

There's you in everything I do

Ebm                     Ab
Don't tell me that I'm wrong
Bbm
I've walked that road before
Ab              C#
And left you on your own
Ebm                            Ab
And please believe them when they say
Bbm
That it's left for yesterday
Ab                 C#
And the records that I've played
Ebm             Ab
Please forgive me for all I've done

So I, I bet my life, I bet my life

I bet my life on you
