Intro: G Gadd9 G Gadd9
G C
Somehow the fair-haired boy has lost his place
Am D
Stepped from the golden light, fallen from grace
G C
Scattered promises like broken glass
Am D
Turned his heart away from all he has
C D
And you can't believe and you can't explain
G C
How a heart can beat and the world can change
Am D
And it's left you wondering
C D G
If there's a right way to do the wrong thing
G C
New love's a warm surprise to a sleeping heart
Am D
We tell ourselves the old was wanting from the start
G C
Hot tears in children's eyes, for the nights he calls
Am D
Photos of in-law aunts down off the walls
C D
And you can't believe and you can't explain
G C
How a heart can beat and the world can change
Am D
And it's left you wondering
C D G
If there's a right way to do the wrong thing
Bridge:

Running now, he can't come clean

And she can't understand what's changing

This charade leaves her unknowing
G D C D
Everyday these cracks keep growing deeper
