[D] Welcome back, friends.
Darryl Dodd knows heartbreaking country music,
and it doesn't get much more [A] heartbreaking than a divorce.
[D] Here's his story behind the song, A Bitter End.
[C#m] [B] Songs, and, you know, I don't own the magic of anything.
It just comes through, you know, [G] and that song is one
that when [A] myself and Kenny Beard wrote this song,
I went through a divorce, [D] and basically for three or four [C#m] weeks,
[Bm] doing like therapy, I was talking about [G] what I was feeling,
and we didn't write, we just talked.
And then one [A] day we got together and we got [D] our guitars out
and just, hey man, I'm glad you [Bm] asked,
and just started talking about what the song, very [G] conversational.
You know, when you experience something [A] and it's real to you,
people feel that, [D] and that's the greatest thing ever, you know.
What else can you do as a songwriter?
And that song kind of did it for [G#] me, and I'm [D] proud of it,
and I thank God for it because that's where it came from.

[E] [A]
[E] Hey me, I'm glad [F#m] you asked
Because [D] I know more about [A] that than I want to
[E] And I'll share it with you
If you don't work things [A] out
And [E] save your love somehow
You'll know it then
What it's like at the bitter end
First comes a downpour [A] Unemotional [Bm] uproar
[A] Brought on by [D] don't love you anymore
[E] Followed by a slamming door
[A] Then old lonely moves in
[Bm] And the hurt begins
[A] That's what [D] it's like, my friend
[E] If you let it come
To a bitter end
[A] If [E] time were on my [F#m] side
[D] And it would let me [A] fly
Back to the night
[E] Of our last fight
[A] Then [E] I could hold my [F#m] tongue
[D] And hold on to the [A] one
I should have never let go
[E] Then I wouldn't have to know
Everything [A] about the downpour
That [Bm] emotional uproar
Brought [D] on by don't love you anymore
[E] Followed by a slamming door
[A] Then old lonely moves in
And [Bm] the hurt begins
