E5        G#5          C#5           A5 
He lied, he cheated till he broke your heart  
        E5               C#5           F#5    B5 
And you can't count the teardrops you cried  
   E5         G#5      C#5        A5 
He made you afraid to make a new start  
    E5                 B5     E5 
And that's why you've never tried  
  

    E5           B5      E5 
But that was before my time  
    A5                     E5 
And darlin', that's all behind  
     A5                  E5             C#5     
I'll help you forget in these arms of mine  
     E5          B5       E5 
What happened before my time   
 
You never had someone to love you so strong  
And nothing else matters at all  
I know you've carried those heartaches too long  
And now you're afraid to fall  
 
Chorus 
 
I'll help you forget in these arms of mine  
What happened before my time
