A             D
Her eyes were closed

       A             D
When I caught her in bed

E               A       D
She seemed much happier then

A            D
I sat by her side

      A                 D
And I couldn't help but cry

      E          A          D
I was here for a reason and I

E       A
Finally understood

    D  A  E
And my oh my

           D          D   A  E
Could only ask myself why oh why

      E  A
Can't we talk this through

    D    A      E
And make things right

    D            D    E  A
I'd sure as hell like to try

A                D
Right about this time

    A           D
She opened her eyes

    E         A               D
And asked how long I had been there

     A             D
Well my tongue was tied

       A              D
I said nothing I just stared

     E              A        D
Then she said: "Oh, I didn't think you cared."

    E        A         D
And I wasn't ready for what she said next:

E         A
"There is nothing else

     D   A   E
That you can do

          D
You can't understand

     D A  E
What I go through

    E      A
And if the world has changed

     D    A  E
Well I'll be damned

    D           E    A
And I'm no good at being brave

D           E      A
Not even on the better days

D                    E      A
And there are things we can not save

D                D    E  A
Oh no matter how hard we try."

E         A
"There is nothing else

     D   A   E
That you can do

          D
You can't understand

     D A  E
What I go through

    E      A
And if the world has changed

      D      A  E
Well, you'll do fine."

  D             E       A
I tried, but no I could not stand

D                  E      A
I touched her with a trembling hand

D                  E   A
I choked and could not say goodbye

D                D    E A
Oh no matter how hard I tried
