Matt King / Patty Loveless From the CD "Hard Country" [INTRO]
   C
He tore down the work of 17 years

                   G        C
Brick by brick and stone by stone
No hammer was swingin', cause cheatin' and drinkin'
      G
Don't need no help wreckin' a home

         C
Aww, but when he came back to the dust and the rubble

                               F
Of what he has once called his life

                            C
He dropped to his knees, in sheer disbelief

       G                    C
At the total destruction in sight

           C                  G
There were empty closests and empty drawers

      C                        F
And a tear-stained note on the kitchen floor

    C                             G     G7
And burning memories, in the fire place

   C                  G
He waited too late to say he was wrong

    C                                 F
His house was still standing, but his home was gone

        C         E      Am    D
Brother you would not be lieve

F            G             C
What you can see from your knees
[Fiddle Solo]
C
Right then and there, in an old sinner's prayer

                  G           C
He told things he kept in the dark
There was no use in lying, 'cause the man who was listenin'
      G
Could see every room in his heart

              C
Well, he took empty whiskey bottles, little black book and all

                            F
To the fire she left on the grate

                     C
Sometimes a man will change on his own

G                          C
Sometimes - I tell you, it takes

C                  G
Empty closests and empty drawers

      C                         F
And a tearful confession on the kitchen floor

    C                             G     G7
And burning memories, in the fire place

   C                  G
He waited too late to say he was wrong

    C                              F
His house was still standing, he'd fight for his home

        C         E      Am    D
Brother you would not be lieve

        C         E      Am    Dsus D
Brother you would not be lieve

F            G             C
What you can see from your knees
