_ _ _ _ _ _ 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] _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [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] _ _ _ _
