verse 1 
D                           G 
I always pretended for your sake 
       A                                   G 
So you wouldn't know how you make my heart break 
  D                                  G 
I tried so hard to save you from yourself 
      A                     G 
But I never could cry out loud for help 

G     A                Bm     G 
All I did was help you tell a lie 
    G          A              Bm       G 
You never even knew it when I said goodbye 
  G      Bm        A          G 
I ran so far and I don't know why 

verse 2 
D                         G 
You never even knew who I was 
    A                      G 
You saw about as far as a blind man does 
   D                                G 
I carried you with me every where I went 
  A                                    G 
I carried every thing till my back was bent 

G     A                Bm      G 
All I did was help you tell a lie 
    G          A              Bm       G 
You never even knew it when I said goodbye 
   G     Bm                 A          G 
It won't stop raining and I don't know why 

Solo 

verse 3 
D                                 G 
All our words are written down in chalk 
A                             G 
Out in the rain out on the sidewalk 
D                                  G 
If we put all our heartaches in a stack 
 A                                  G 
They'd go all the way up to heaven and back 

G         A            Bm           G 
We don't know all the trouble we're in 
G         A           Bm       G 
We don't know how to get home again 
 G     Bm               A       G 
Jesus come and save us from our sins 

Ummm. Ummm Ummm
