Track 7 of 10 on the album "...Sings" (2003) [Intro] Em C D B7 Em [Verse 1]
N.C.         Em                   C
All I'd ever wanted, all I'd ever need

   D                   B7                    Em
I had right here every night laying next to me

                                        C
In one moment of weakness, her love I betrayed

        D                      B7                 Em
Now I'm lying here alone every night in the bed I made
[Chorus]
G                            D                        Em
   Oh, and I still feel the heat from the fire in her eyes

                       C                                 G
When the plain unfaithful truth rose above our love, my lies

                  D                                 Em
I handed her the bomb, then she dropped it right on me

                    C           B7            Em      C
And the love I cheated on was blown to smithereens
D B7 Em [Verse 2]
N.C.             Em                          C
Without her, I'm nothing, I'm just taking up space

       D                        B7                       Em
I wake up every morning just to die for the rest of the day

                                   C
It's a sad situation, it's a crying shame

     D                           B7               Em
Made worse by the fact that I've only myself to blame
[Chorus]
G                            D                        Em
   Oh, and I still feel the heat from the fire in her eyes

                       C                                 G
When the plain unfaithful truth rose above our love, my lies

                  D                                 Em
I handed her the bomb, then she dropped it right on me

                    C           B7            Em
And the love I cheated on was blown to smithereens
[Bridge]
A
Just like that, I self-destructed

                                   Em
I paid a price so high, it busted me

    A
And all those memories left behind

                                      G
Will haunt me 'til the day they bury me

          B7
Six foot deep
[Guitar/Fiddle Solo] Em C D B7 Em C D B7 Em [Chorus]
G                            D                        Em
   Oh, and I still feel the heat from the fire in her eyes

                       C                                 G
When the plain unfaithful truth rose above our love, my lies

                  D                                 Em
I handed her the bomb, then she dropped it right on me

                    C           B7            Em
And the love I cheated on was blown to smithereens
[Outro] Em C D B7 Em
