[D] [G]
[D] [A]
[D] [G]
[D] [A] There wasn't nothing [D] but a heartache In the middle [G] of a bad dream
Like I took [A] on the whole world And I [D] never had a chance, girl
It was a one-way conversation I [G] never got the invitation
The sharpness of her [A] words deceiving And I [D] couldn't stop the bleeding
And Lord, I tried to [G] be forgiving But getting by don't [A] mean you're living
And on that highway [G] going nowhere Was an exit [A] overdue
And all she had to [G] give was heartache So [A]
she broke my [D] heart in two
Yes, [G]
[D] she did You [A]
found [D] me drifting in a small boat
In the [G] middle of an ocean You were [A] there on my horizon
And I didn't have [D] a notion Unprepared to comprehend it
Felt alone and [G] unattended Said my prayers and [A] reached my hand out
And you appeared to me [D] that day Came and led me to [G] a new shore
I had never [A] been there before Pulled me in the right [G] direction
And you led me out [A] of hell And if it wasn't for [G] your good heart
[A]
I'd have never [D] broke a spell Cause you promised me [G] tomorrow
And [A] I learned that [D] lesson well [G] [D] [G] Yes, I did, [D]
yes, [A] I did
[D]
[G]
[A]
[D] You're the sum of all [G] my heartbeats You're the only [A] truth my heart needs
You showed me how to make [G] the journey I can't let you walk [A] away
No, not today Cause I've already slept [G] with heartache
[A] Time to chase the night [D] away Just the two of us [G] together
It [A] does forever sound [D] okay Say [G]
yes, [D] it does, [G]
[D] say yes, it does
[G]
Oh, yes, [D] it does
[A] [D]
