F                          C
The first night I should've left you,
Am               G
Before I shut my eyes,
F                  C                G
I prayed to God I'd wake up somewhere else.
F                       C
When the mornin' came to find me,
Am                     G
You were sleepin' there beside me,
F                 C             G
I wondered if this nightmare ever ends…

(same for the rest of the song!!)
F                       C
The door was left wide open,
Am                          G             F
And the neighbors, they were smokin' in the afternoon,
C                G
To pass away the time.
F                       C
You looked at me so cold and said,
 Am                     G
"This house is not my home,"
F                   C             G
I wish you knew how true that felt most nights.

F                       C
Is it bitterness or sympathy,
Am                          G
That keeps you standin' here with me?
F                   C             G
I'm not sure how much more I can take.
  F                        C
'Cause I have sacrificed my peace of mind,
Am                          G
To sit here with you wastin' time,
F                   C             G
And now I think I'd like to walk away.


F                 C
I was standing in Ohio,
Am             G
On the 28th of March,
F                   C             G
With a guitar and a suitcase in my hands.
F                      C
When the wind, it stole my cap,
Am                   G
Lord, all I could do was laugh,
F                    C               G
And thank the stars I'm still a drinkin' man.


F                       C
Is it bitterness or sympathy,
Am                          G
That keeps you standin' here with me?
F                   C             G
I'm not sure how much more I can take.
  F                        C
'Cause I have sacrificed my peace of mind,
Am                          G
To sit here with you wastin' time,
F                   C             G
And now I think I'd like to walk away.


F                       C
I was walkin' in a graveyard,
Am                          G
Where no one that I know rests,
F                   C             G
Thinkin' maybe I could clear my head.
F                       C
And on the cemetery breeze,
Am                     G
I heard a song about belief,
F                   C             G
Sung with a thunder I can't understand.

F                       C
Is it bitterness or sympathy,
Am                          G
That keeps you standin' here with me?
F                   C             G
I'm not sure how much more I can take.
  F                        C
'Cause I have sacrificed my peace of mind,
Am                          G
To sit here with you wastin' time,
F                   C             G
And now I think I'd like to walk away.
