Intro:
A

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

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

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

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

Interlude:
A
D A DAE
D A DAE

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