[Db] [Bbm]
[Gb] [Ebm]
[Db] She was crying out [Bbm] my name, standing [Gb] in the driveway.
Little Ben Fiend wearing her [Db] cotton dress in my wing.
I still [Bbm] see the rain, [Db] chasing [Gb] tears down her face.
It was back in [Db] October when I [Ab] said it's [Bbm] over.
And hid behind [Ab] the door, [Gb] behind the shame of my conviction.
[Bbm] [Ab] Beside myself, [Db] beside some [Gb] empty pill [Db] prescription.
And hear her scream now.
You know, [Ab] baby, don't.
You're making my [Bbm] heart hurt.
Don't say those [Gb] words.
Take it back.
You [Ab] know you don't [Db] mean that.
And you swore when I wore your ring, [Ab] it meant [Bbm] forever.
I've got it on, [Ab] baby.
How can you [Gb] say I lost it?
Oh, you promised.
[Ab]
[Db] Starting to cry while [Bbm] I was sleeping.
Waking up [Gb] and reaching out.
Two bed eyes and tears, the [Db] heart inside my chest.
So I [Fm] gathered [Bbm] up some pictures.
Said I had some [Db] things to [Gb] give her.
I'd let her read a [Db] letter I'd written her to give her on the [Ab] day we'd [Bbm] tied the knot.
I [Ab] saw her tears.
I [Gb] saw her fall when she read the part of mine [Bbm] grown wrong.
I [Ab] heard her words.
I [Db] heard her say it'll never work.
I hit my knees and cried.
You know, baby, [Ab] don't.
You're making my [Bbm] heart hurt.
Don't say those [Gb] words.
Take it back.
You [Ab] know you don't [Db] mean that.
And you swore when you [Ab] wore my ring, it meant forever.
[Bbm] You've got it on, [Ab] baby.
How can you [Db] say you lost it?
[Ab] [Bbm] Yeah, you promised.
We were different [Ab] people then.
Look at all the hateful [Gb] things we've said.
And I'm just as guilty.
A girl that's no [Db] way to [Bbm] be.
Yeah, take it easy, baby.
I'm still [Ab] broken.
Memories enough to tear me wide [Gb] open.
When you see me, girl, you curse my name.
[Db] Makes me want to say no.
No, baby, [Ab] don't.
You're making my [Bbm] heart hurt.
Don't say those [Gb] words.
Take it back.
You [Db] know you don't mean that.
And you know when you [Ab] wore my ring, we said forever.
[Bbm] But you took it off, [Ab] baby.
Safe to [Db] say we're through.
[Bbm] But no matter what you [Ab] do, you know I'll [Gb] always love you.
[Db] And I have to.
