  			B      C#m                                B      
  You slipped off your wedding band  And tucked it deep  
 
inside my hand 
E                                       B 
Forced a smile and headed towards the door 
        A              
And as you walked out I heard you say 
  E         
Things just haven't been going our way 
C#m                   B        A 
I don't love you any-more Now after the day I had 
    B 
I could have done without that. 
 
             E                      C#m 
I'd rather watch the house we built burn to the ground 
A                                      B 
Stand out in the pouring rain let the good Lord strike me down 
         A             E                        C#m 
Then to sit here and watch you walk           a-way  
                     have my whole world walk a-way 
C#m                  A                   B            E 
Anything would be better than your good-bye on a bad day. 
  1.)B to 2nd verse 2.)A B A B to bridge 
 
 
                C#m 
I've seen that look I can always tell  
           B   
It means stay away from me and go straight to hell 
         A                                B 
That's exactly where I'll be when you're gone 
     C#m                            B 
And after a day like this My whole world's gone all wrong 
Go to chorus 
BRIDGE: 
(B)               C#m 
Wo Oh  You're the one thing I had left 
           E            
When the whole world holds me down 
    C#m 
Now how can I keep going when you're not around 
Go to chorus 
 
ENDING: 
A               E 
Ohhhhhhh-oh-oh-oh
