Verse 1:
Em                 G                  C               G
Her mother came and packed her bags and drove her off to nowhere

In the shadows of her second father's shoulders she just stood there
Em D C
Crying
Em D G
She's crying
Em                          G                   C                  G
Then the wicked lies rolled off her tongue like war-bound soldiers marching
Em                   G                  C                G
And she ran from the truth like wounded men run from the darkness
Em D C
When they're dying
Em D G
She's dying

Chorus:
C
And I told her I loved her
G                Em
And she told me she's leaving
C                                  G              Em
Just like every other person in my life that I've believed in
C
And as she slammed the door and walked away
               G
I turned on my radio
C
Ooooh no
                           D
And I played her a dancing song
            G
And got her home

Verse 2:
Em             G                     C             G
And I had more faith in her than her mother had in Jesus
Em                 G                   C                G
But like Judas she rebuked my name for jewels and silver pieces
Em  D    C
A wedding ring
Em  D  G
A wedding ring
Em                G             C           G
And in my darkest hour her eyes filled with desperation
Em                           G                     C              G
Her words were sharp and her sword was swift, Lord I have been forsaken
Em D C
By my one true love
Em D G
My one true love

Chorus:
C
And I told her I loved her
G                Em
And she told me she's leaving
C                                  G              Em
Just like every other person in my life that I've believed in
C
And as she slammed the door and walked away
               G
I turned on my radio
C
Ooooh no
                           D
And I played her a dancing song
            G
And got her home

Verse 3:
Em       G                   C                 G
As I lie alone tonight in the bed we built and once shared
Em                 G               C                      G
I wonder where you are, who you're with, do you think that he cares
Em D C
About you
Em D G
About you
Em             G             C                  G
Now I am not a godly man, my road's twisted and sinful
Em                        G                      C                G
But to have you back, I'd bow my head and sing a Southern Baptist hymnal
Em D C
Hallelujah
Em D  C
Hallelujah
Em D C G
Hallelujah
Em D G
Hallelujah
