        D#m
When I hear them use your name
      C#
I get all choked up inside
         D#m
It's not only from the shame
          C#
It's like 10 different lovers died
                G#m
Except you're still just a mile away
             A#m             A#
But there's nothing left to say

Chorus:
               D#m
Don't leave us not in love again
                C#
Cause we might break instead of bend
                  G#m
I felt a little strain in the pouring rain
           A#m             A#
It washed away most everything

If I found another love
They must be forever true
Cause if someone breaks this heart
Your old man right here is through
Heaven just seems so far away
When there's nothing left to say

Chorus

Don't leave us down and out again
The little girl can't comprehend
She had another dream that her mama's gone
She's alright, but you're all wrong

Chorus

Don't leave us down and out again
The little girl can't comprehend
She had another dream that her mama's gone
She's alright, but you're all wrong
