A                         D
Here we are, what is left of a husband and a wife
      E                                 A
With four good kids who have a way of gettin' on with their life.
        A                             D
And I'm not old but I'm gettin' a whole lot older everyday.
      E                                       A/D
It's too late to keep from goin' crazy, I've got to get away.

                 D                                  A
The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
        E                                     A
And I understand that lovin' a man shouldn't have to be this rough
                   D                                  A
But you ain't the only one who feels like this world left you far behind
             Bm                D             A    Bm   D
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time.

               A                              D
The boys are strong now, a spittin' image of you when you were young.
   E                               A
I hope someday they can see past what you have become.
       D7                 D
And I remember everytime I said I'd never leave
         Bm                                    A/D
But what I can't live with is memories of the way you used to be.

                 D                                  A
The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
        E                                     A
And I understand that lovin' a man shouldn't have to be this rough
                   D                                  A
But you ain't the only one who feels like this world left you far behind
             Bm                D             A    Bm   D
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time.

( A  D  Bm  A ) (2x)

         A                                D
Twenty years have came and went since I walked out of your door.
   E                               A
I never quite made it back to the one I was before.
           D7                              D
And God it hurts me to think of you for the light in your eyes was gone.
     Bm                                               A/D
And sometimes I don't know why this old world can't leave well enough alone.
