D                          A
Let me lie my head on your chest for just a little while
               G                         D       D
It ain’t wrong, see I’ve been gone now for so long
                              A           A
It wasn’t you who made me have to run away
G                      D                      A C D
It’s the sickness that I know pervades your mind

Verse 2:
D                              A
I didn’t wanna leave, my nights have been lonely darlin’
                   G                          D
But I couldn’t sit back and watch you burn us both alive
F#m                                 Bm    Bm
Some folks said I should have known better
          Em                       G       A
But those folks are better off not knowin’ the cost

Chorus:
A         C           G              D             D
There are things that only years can teach a woman
             C     Bm   G                   D    D
Like how she knows each time her man’s done wrong
          C          G               D       D
When 1 or 2 with the boys lasts ‘til morning
          C                   G                   D    D
Or how he whispers you’re the only love that I’ve known

Refrain:
D     C        G               F#m            D
Oh he whispers you’re the only love that I’ve known

I feel as if I failed you darlin’
    G                      D             A Em D
I’m guilty
I left you all alone to fight
                             A   A
Your vices are stronger than I am
               G                                 D              D A Em D
You’d reach to them, and I’d just reached out to kill the light

Verse 4:
D                           A                    A
Harder still is that fate’s come callin’ darlin’
  D             G                                D       D A F#m
I never dreamed when I promised you forever that I’d lie
                                        Bm    Bm
I’m sure folks said you should’ve known better
          Em                       G       A
But those folks are better off not knowing the cost
