Sometimes in an argument, it will show
When you go a little farther than you meant to go
I know you don't mean the things that you say
I just wanna ease the pain that's in your way

But the woman before me must have been hard on you
'Cause that hurt in your eyes, I never put you through
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
The woman before me and you

Am (x02210@1)          g (355333@1) -  F (133211@1)    C (x32010@1)         FIf (133211@1)there are sorrows that bring back a tear
Am (x02210@1)            g (355333@1) -   F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) CDon't (x32010@1)let them keep us apart
Am (x02210@1)         g (355333@1)  -    F (133211@1)  C (x32010@1)        FYou (133211@1)oughta know you've got nothing to fear
Am (x02210@1)        g (355333@1)  gHere (355333@1)in my heart

'Cause you and I will never be like the past
Whatever kind of memories that you have
Nothing's gonna hurt me how, can't you see
I already made it a vow that I can keep

But the woman before me must have been hard on you
'Cause that hurt in your eyes, I never put you through
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
The woman before me and you
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
