Verse:

 C                      F           C
I once met a young girl filled with fire
C                            G          C
That saw through my front to this shell of a man
    C                     F        C
She knew I'd be a handful from the start
C                          G      C
This strong willed woman had an angels heart
    C                          F           C
The holes in these wings don't allow me to fly
         C                  G       C
So you'd better brace for a life of pain
C                        F      C
And if fate is the path to this better life
    C                               G     C
Somehow I feel you'll never see the faces change

  C                    F       C
I look back and wonder sit and ponder.
    C                    G      C
How I could have ever neglected you.
        C                        F        C
For the blood soaked soil on the old ball field
C                          G        C
I gambled on a hand I wasn't ready to lose
           C                        F         C
But if the tables were turned and I faced the troubles
C                     G       C
Tough times and struggles I put you through
       C                              F            C
I'd of been there as you were through hardship and horror
   C                    G          C
My life and my love are pledged to you.

Bridge:

   F         C          G          Am
Remember the nights she waited and wondered
F          C                G
fused to a myth that it had taken it's toll.
         F       C       G      Am
But this Godless man has mended his way
Dm                   G   C
Never again will she be alone.

that she was destined to be my bride
     C                       F       C
This woman had pride she was full of life.
