Well, [Am] her mother came [C] and packed her bags [F] and drove her off [C] to nowhere
In [D] the shadows of [C] her second [F] father's shoulder she [C] just stood there
[Am] [G] [F] Crying,
[Am] [G]
[C] crying
[Am] Then the wicked lies [C] rolled off her tongue like [F] war-bound [C] soldiers marching
She [Am] ran from [C] the truth like wounded [F] men run from [C] the darkness
When [Am] they're [G] [F] dying, she's [Am] [G]
[C] dying
And
[F] I told her I loved her, [C] she told me [Am] she's leaving
[G] Just [Am] [F] like every other person in [C] my life that I [Am] believed in
[Em] [C]
[F] And as she slammed the door and walked away, I turned on my
[C] radio
Oh
[F] no, then I played her a dancing [G] song to guide [C] her home
I
[F]
[C] [F]
[C] [Am]
had more [C] faith in her [F] than her mother had [C] in Jesus
But [Am] like Judas she [C] rebuked my name [F] for jewels and silver [C] pieces
[Am] A [G] wedding [F] ring, [C] a [G] wedding [C] ring
And
[Am] in my darkest [C] hour, her [F] eyes filled with [C] desperation
Her [Am] words were sharp and [C] her sword was swift, [F] Lord, I [C] have been forsaken
By [Am]
my [G] one [F] true love, [Am] my [G] one true [C] love
And
[F] I told her I loved her, [C] she told me [Am] she's leaving
Just [F] like every other person in my [C] life that I [Am] believed in
And
[F] as she slammed the door and walked away, I turned on my
[C] radio
[F] Oh no, then I played her a dancing [G] song to guide [C] her home
[F]
[C] [F]
[C] [F]
[C] And [Am]
as I lie [C] alone tonight in [F] the bed we built and [C] once shared
[D] I wonder where [C] you are and who [F] you're with, do you think [C] that he cares
[G] About [F] you,
[Am] [G] about
[C] you
No,
[Am] [C]

[C] [F]
[C]
[F]
[Dm] [Am] [G]
[C]
[Am] thou I am not a godly man, [F] my role's twisted [C] and sinful
But to have you back I'd bow my head [F] and sing a Southern Baptist [C] hymn
[Am]
[G] Hallelujah,
[F]
[G] Hallelujah,
[F]
[Am] [G] Hallelujah, [F] [C]
