Verse 1:
G5                   (hold strings)
I tried my best to keep you here 
E5                   G5
But it's hard to hold a shadow 
G5                    (hold strings)
You said goodbye but I couldn't hear 
E5                   G5
Too busy praying for a miracle 

Chorus: 
E5                   C5
And you left me on my knees 
G5                       D5
You just walked out the door 
E5                   C99
You didn't even have the decency to intervene 
C5                D5
while I was begging God for 

You to love me 

Verse 2:
E5               (hold strings)
I prayed about us every night 
E5                  G5
Boy I know you had to hear me 
E5               (hold strings)
You could've stopped me then and told the truth 
E5                               G5
But instead you pulled the pillow over your head 

Chorus:
E5                   C5
And you left me on my knees 
G5                       D5
You just walked out the door 
E5                   C99
You didn't even have the decency to intervene 
C5                D5
while I was begging God for 

You to love me 

Bridge: E5 , C5 , G5 , D5
E5           C5          G5         D5
You should've told me it was useless,

That I was praying empty prayers 

But you hopped in your car, pulled out your keys 

While you were leaving, I was begging God for you to love me 
E5                               C5
And I know that He had something better to do 
         G5                                 D5
Than to sit and listen to a broken-hearted fool 

Could've been saving the world from a tragedy, 

But instead He was listening to me 

I was asking, begging for a sign to bring 

comfort to this lonely heart of mine 

But apparently you're not what I need 

I guess you walking out was Him answering 


Chorus:
E5                   C5
And you left me on my knees 
G5                       D5
You just walked out the door 
E5                   C99
You didn't even have the decency to intervene 
C5                D5
while I was begging God for 

You to love me
