C                                    Am                                   F
She was crying out my name, Standing in the driveway
                                                               
Little bare feet wearing her cotton dress and I
C                        Am                       F
I still see the rain chasing tears down her face

It was back in October when I said it’s over and hid
Am           G                     F
Behind the door, behind the shame of my conviction
Am            G                       F
Bedside myself ,beside some empty pill prescription

Can hear her screamig' no


C          G                           
No baby don't, you making my heart hurt
Am
Don’t say those words
F                      G
Take it back, you know you don't mean that
C                                      G
You swore when I wore your ring

It meant forever
Am                  G                            F
I've got it on baby, how can you say I lost it

Oh, you promised

C                                              Am                    F
Started crying while I was sleeping, waking up and reaching out

To a bed as empty as the heart inside my chest
C                                         Am                                 F
So I gathered up some pictures, i said i had somethin to give her

I let her read a letter, i had a written her to give her on the day we tied the knot
Am               G
I saw the tears
              F
I saw them fall as she read the part of my growing old
Am                  G              F                       
I heard her words, i heard her say it'll never work

And hit my knees and cried

C         G
No baby don't you're making my heart hurt
Am
Don’t say those words
F
Take it back, you know you dont mean it
C                                        G
You swore when you wore my ring

It meant forever
   Am                     G                               F
You’ve got it on baby, How can you say you lost it
                  Am
Yeah and you promised


Am
We were different people then
G
Look at all the hateful things we’ve said
F
And I’m just as guilty,but girl you that's no wat to be
Am
Take it easy baby I’m still broken
G
Memories enough to tear me wide open
F
When you see me girl you curse my name

Makes me wanna say no



C         G
No baby don't you're making my heart hurt
Am
Don’t say those words
F                      G
Take it back, you know you dont mean it
C                                        G
You swore when you wore my ring

We said forever
Am                     G                                 F

Am                                 G                           F
