[Db] [Bbm]
[Gb]
[Ebm]
[Db] She was crying out [Bbm] my name
Standing [Gb] in the driveway
Little Ben free wearing her [Db] cotton dress and I'll ring
I still see [Bbm] the rain
[Db] And tears and tears [Gb] down her face
It's back in October [Db] when I [Ab] said it's [Bbm] over and hidden
[Ab] Behind the door
[Gb] Behind the shame of my conviction
[Bbm] [Ab] Beside myself
Beside [Gb] some empty pill prescription
[Db] And here her sleeping now
You know [Ab] baby don't
You're making my [Bbm] heart hurt
Don't say those words
[Gb] Take it back
You know [Abm] you [Db] don't mean that
And you swore whenever on your [Ab] brain
It meant [Bbm] forever
I've got it on [Ab] baby
How can you say [Gb] I lost it
Oh you promised
[Ab]
[Db] Starting to cry while I was [Bbm] sleeping
Waking up in [Gb] the bed reaching out
Through the bed I had some tears
They're hard [Ab] inside my [Db] chest
So I gathered up some [Bbm] pictures
Said I had some things [Db] to give [Gb] her
A letter, read a letter
[Db] I'm letting her give her all the day, [Ab] week, time and [Bbm] now
I [Ab] saw her tears
I saw [Gb] them fall when she read the part of mine [Bbm] growing old
I [Ab] heard her words
I heard [Db] her say it'll never work
I hit my knees and cried
You know baby [Ab] don't
You're making my heart [Bbm] hurt
Don't say those words
[Gb] Take it back
You know you [Ab] don't mean [Db] that
And you swore when you were on [Ab] my brain
It meant forever
[Bbm] I've got it on [Ab] baby
How can you say I [Db] lost it
[Ab] Yeah when [Bbm] you promised
We were different people [Ab] then
Look at all the hateful things we've [Gb] said
And I'm just as guilty
But girl there's no way to [Db] be
[Bbm] Yeah take it easy baby I'm still [Ab] broken
Memories of love tell me wide [Gb] open
When you see me do you curse my name
[Db] Makes me wanna say no
No baby [Ab] don't
You're making my heart [Bbm] hurt
Don't say those words
[Gb] Take it back
You know you [Db] don't mean that
And you know when you were on [Ab] my brain
We said forever
[Bbm] But you took it on [Ab] baby
It's safe to say we're [Db] through
No [Bbm] matter [Ab] what you do
You know I'll always [Gb] love you
Hell I [Db] have to
[Gb]
