A cold night in the kitchen

Saying things we both regret
C G
And you scream, you were leaving

And you cursed the day we met
C D G
Then a sound rose above the slamming door
~ Em C
And broken dishes thrown around the floor

So loud it made us stop
Am G/B C D

When I heard her crying
C D G
Thought she was tucked away in bed

Wish we could take back what we said
C D G
I didn't think she was old enough to know
G/F# Em C
Oh lord, we must have hurt her so
G
When she begged you not to go
D G D G
I heard her crying
N.C. G
Well, I'd have given anything

C D G
Oh, my heart nearly broke in two

When she said, "Mommy what did I do
G
To make you and daddy mad
Am D
Oh, I'm sorry I was bad"
N.C. G
Well, I looked at you and you looked at me
C G
And we felt each other's shame
C G
Then kneeling down to hold our child

C D
"Now sometimes when we're angry
G ~ Em
And say things that aren't true

But we still love each other

And baby, we love you"
