G
1.I woke up this morning
C
And prayed to God, oh let it be a dream
D
Her side of the bed was cold
G
And layin' there beside me was her ring
With a note that she had left for me
C
Layin' where she used to lay her head
D
And I felt the world fall in on me
G
For this is what she said
C G
C.Tied to a stone ain't no way to live
D G
I can't go on livin' like this
C G
I'd rather be lonely and face life alone
C D
Than to go on this way, day after day
G
Tied to a stone
2.I always thought I gave her
Everything that any girl could want
The diamonds on her fingers
A new car and a big two-story home
Home became a prison
And lookin' back now I can see it all
Oh, I'd give the world if I could change the things
That made her climb that wall
