D                           G
I always pretended for your sake
       A                                   G
So you wouldn't know how you make my heart break
  D                                  G
I tried so hard to save you from yourself
      A                     G
But I never could cry out loud for help

G     A                Bm     G
All I did was help you tell a lie
    G          A              Bm       G
You never even knew it when I said goodbye
  G      Bm        A          G
I ran so far and I don't know why

[Verse 2]
D                         G
You never even knew who I was
    A                      G
You saw about as far as a blind man does
   D                                G
I carried you with me every where I went
  A                                    G
I carried every thing till my back was bent

G     A                Bm      G
All I did was help you tell a lie
    G          A              Bm       G
You never even knew it when I said goodbye
   G     Bm                 A          G
It won't stop raining and I don't know why


[solo]

[Verse 3]
D                                 G
All our words are written down in chalk
A                             G
Out in the rain out on the sidewalk
D                                  G
If we put all our heartaches in a stack
 A                                  G
They'd go all the way up to heaven and back

G         A            Bm           G
We don't know all the trouble we're in
G         A           Bm       G
We don't know how to get home again
 G     Bm               A       G
Jesus come and save us from our sins
