Intro:
A augmentedA

Verse 1:
A augmentedA       D MajorD
Her eyes were closed
    A augmentedA       D MajorD
When I caught her in bed
E MajorE        A augmentedA    D MajorD
She seemed much happier then
A augmentedA      D MajorD
I sat by her side
   A augmentedA         D MajorD
And I couldn't help but cry
   E MajorE     A augmentedA     D MajorD
I was here for a reason and I

Chorus:
E MajorE    A augmentedA
Finally understood
  D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
And my oh my
      D MajorD     D MajorD  A augmentedA E MajorE
Could only ask myself why oh why
   E MajorE A augmentedA
Can't we talk this through
  D MajorD  A augmentedA   E MajorE
And make things right
  D MajorD      D MajorD  E MajorE A augmentedA
I'd sure as hell like to try

Verse 2:
A augmentedA        D MajorD
Right about this time
  A augmentedA      D MajorD
She opened her eyes
  E MajorE     A augmentedA        D MajorD
And asked how long I had been there
   A augmentedA       D MajorD
Well my tongue was tied
    A augmentedA       D MajorD
I said nothing I just stared
   E MajorE       A augmentedA    D MajorD
Then she said: "Oh, I didn't think you cared."
  E MajorE    A augmentedA     D MajorD
And I wasn't ready for what she said next:

Chorus:
E MajorE     A augmentedA
"There is nothing else
   D MajorD  A augmentedA  E MajorE
That you can do
     D MajorD
You can't understand
   D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
What I go through
  E MajorE   A augmentedA
And if the world has changed
   D MajorD  A augmentedA E MajorE
Well I'll be damned
  D MajorD      E MajorE  A augmentedA
And I'm no good at being brave
D MajorD      E MajorE   A augmentedA
Not even on the better days
D MajorD          E MajorE   A augmentedA
And there are things we can not save
D MajorD        D MajorD  E MajorE A augmentedA
Oh no matter how hard we try."

Interlude:
A augmentedA
D MajorD A augmentedA DAE
D MajorD A augmentedA DAE

Chorus:
She said:
E MajorE     A augmentedA
"There is nothing else
   D MajorD  A augmentedA  E MajorE
That you can do
     D MajorD
You can't understand
   D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
What I go through
  E MajorE   A augmentedA
And if the world has changed
   D MajorD   A augmentedA E MajorE
Well, you'll do fine."
 D MajorD       E MajorE    A augmentedA
I tried, but no I could not stand
D MajorD         E MajorE   A augmentedA
I touched her with a trembling hand
D MajorD         E MajorE  A augmentedA
I choked and could not say goodbye
D MajorD        D MajorD  E MajorE A augmentedA
