[Intro] D G D A D G D A [Verse 1]
                        D
It wasn't nothing but a heartache,

                   G
In the middle of a bad dream.

                   A
Like I took on the whole world

                  D
And I never had a chance, girl.
Was a one-way conversation,
                  G
I never got the invitation,

                              A
The sharpness of her words deceiving

              D
And I couldn't stop the bleeding...
[Chorus 1]
                           G
And Lord, I tried to be forgiving,

                                   A
But getting by don't mean you're living,

                          G
And on that highway going nowhere.

                A
Was an exit overdue.

                            G
And all she had to give was heartache

A                        D   G         D
So she broke my heart in two. Yes, she did!
[Verse 2]
A                          D
You found me drifting in a small boat

                     G
In the middle of an ocean

                     A
you were there on my horizon

                    D
And I didn't have a notion.
Unprepared to comprehended,
                   G
Felt alone and not attended,

                               A
Said my prayers and reached my hand out,

                           D
And you appeared to me that day...
[Chorus 2]
                     G
Came and led me to a new shore

                       A
I had never been there before¨

                       G
Put me in the right direction

                      A
And you led me out of Hell

                          G
And if it wasn't for your good heart

A                        D
I'd have never broke her spell,

                          G
'cause you promised me tomorrow,

A                         D
And I learned that lesson well.

G             D            A
  Yes, I did.   Oh, Yes, I did.
[Solo] D D G G A A D D [Outro]
                     G
You're the sum of my heartbeats

                         A
You're the only truth my heart needs

                          G
Showed me how to make a journey

                     A
I can't let you walk away, no, not today!

                            G
'Cause I already slept with heartache

A                      D
Try to chase the night away.

                      G
Just the two of us together

A                    D
Does forever sounds okay?

G                D
   Say, "Yes, it does."

G                D
   Say, "Yes, it does."

G             D    A D
   Oh, yes it does!
