Capo on 2

[Intro repeat x2]
C G Am F (same progression throughout entire song)

[Verse 1]
     C            G
She was a hot blooded woman, he never saw it comin'
  Am              F
She hit him from the side that's blind
   C            G
She never gave a warning, he woke up in the morning
Am            F
laying there next to his Bride
  C              G
He got a little crazy when she had a little baby
     Am             F
cause it filled him with a fatherly pride
    C              G
But a couple years later when their love started fadin'
  Am           F
he hurt so bad he nearly died

[Chorus]
      C     G       Am     F
It's been a long time, since I was faithful
      C     G       Am     F
It's been a long time, since I was grateful
      C     G        Am       F
It's been a long time, since I could look you in the eye
      C     G       Am     F
It's been a long time, since I was grateful

[Verse 2]
She's a mother with a daughter, sittin' by the water
cause it's better for her baby to breathe
She got a man that's in prison cause he didn't wanna listen
Now he's sittin' waiting on a reprieve
And she loves her lil' baby but she get?s a lil' crazy
cause it's harder than she ever conceived
He left her on her own, but she's doin' it alone
cause she loves him like you wouldn't believe

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
He's a friend and a lover, husband and a brother
He's always been a prodigal son
He gets a lot of drama when he goes to see his mama
cause he curses like a son of a gun
He's beggin' to his lady, let him see his baby
He swears that she's the only one
He's got a heart full of sorrow, he's livin' for tomorrow
and he's sorry for the damage he's done

[Chorus - repeat x2]
