[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
was a one-way conversation I [G] never got the invitation
sharpness of her [A] words deceiving And I [D] couldn't stop the bleeding
Lord, I tried to [G] be forgiving But getting by don't [A] mean you're living

_ [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] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
