Intro:
- C - Am Dm F
Am C Dm F
Verse:
Am C F
I felt the car crash, it happened so fast
C Dm Am
I thought that I would never catch my breath again
C F
The dangling seat belts, the burning fuel smells
G Dm
You were saying that the blood would stain your dress
BREAK:
Am C
And I thought back to New Years night
G Em
The angry words, the awful fight
F C Dm
We suffer for our sins, I've suffered for my sins
Pre-Chorus
C G Am F C
You were so scared, that's the thing I most remember
C Em G Am C F C
The way your hand felt in mine, I wish I still
Dm Am C
I want you to know what happened when I lost you
Dm C G
I wish you could feel this aching that's replaced you
Dm
So here among these gathered few
With hardened hearts and empty pews
Am C
I pray that this will too pass and leave
Dm
That I could be a man of faith in this quiet home that we both made
C Em G Am
And tell our son and daughter I believe... in God
Verse:
C
Oh oh the worst is, those things we manage
F G
Don't let yourself cry in front of the kids
C Em Am
And I'm so exhausted, that I think I've lost it
C Em
Six months ago I had it all
BREAK:
Am C
And I thought back to New Years night
G Em
The angry words, the awful fight
Dm G C
We suffer for our sins, I've suffered for my sins
Pre-Chorus
C G Am F C
You were so scared, that's the thing I most remember
C Em G Am C F C
The way your hand felt in mine, I wish I still
Dm Am C
I want you to know what happened when I lost you
Dm C G
I wish you could feel this aching that's replaced you
Dm
So here among these gathered few
With hardened hearts and empty pews
Am C
I pray that this will too pass and leave
Dm
That I could be a man of faith in this quiet home that we both made
C Em G Am
And tell our son and daughter I believe... in God
OUTRO:
C F C
Early in the morning, sitting on the couch beside you
Am F C
And Ike is staring at your face
Am C F C
Ruby softly asks me for blankets and cartoons
Am C F C
Why would that be what plays in my head
Am F C
Reggie scratched the front door and I told you to stay put
Am C F C
And you just kept singing Less Than Jake
Am F C
But the moment that I returned, you sprang from our back room
Am F C
Why would that be what plays in my head
Am C
If Your hand could take her, just take me too
Am C Em
Just take me too, just take me
