[Intro] | F/C | F/C | C | C | F/C | F/C | G | G | C | C/B | Am | F/C | C | G | C | [Verse 1]
 Am                                                   
Lookin’ back well I see you 

     F/C
With eyes that shouldn't be so blue

C                             G
Clearer than the calm before the rain

   Am
So alive it wasn't fair 

   F/C
To live without a single care

   C                                 G
I loved you and you felt for me the same

   Dm7                              F/C
So beautiful that words could not define

Dm7                                G
Sweeter than the Lord's communion wine
[Chorus]
      F/C                        C
Evangeline can't you see I'm sorry

                  F/C                        G
Can't you hear my tears ringin’ through the night 

         C  C/B              Am        F/C
I wait in hell between these bed sheets

             C G             C
And pray to God for morning light
[Instrumental] | F/C | F/C | C | C | F/C | F/C | G | G | C | C/B | Am | F/C | C | G | C | [Verse 2]
    Am   
And winter came and blood ran cold 

   F/C
as ever present sleet and snow

C                             G
Outside of a December window pane

     Am
This house would never be our home

F/C
Hand in hand we walk alone 

    C                                G
I thought the sun would never shine again

        Dm7                         F/C
And the oldest violin could never whine

  Dm7                     G
A melody as sorrowful as mine
[Chorus]
      F/C                        C
Evangeline can't you see I'm sorry

                  F/C                        G
Can't you hear my tears ringin’ through the night 

         C  C/B             Am      F/C
I wait in hell between these bed sheets

             C G             C
And pray to God for morning light
[Instrumental] | F/C | F/C | C | C | F/C | F/C | G | G | C | C/B | Am | F/C | C | G | C | [Verse 3]
         Am
Now I've seen your face a thousand times 

    F/C
And nightmares runnin’ through my mind

   C                 G
It hurts, just to pretend

        Am
But the devil fell and so have I

     F/C
From perfect grace you faced the sky

C                                    G
Never thought a love like this would end

          Dm7                                    F/C
Now your words they cut right through me like a knife

  Dm7                             G
I gave my love and now I take my life
[Chorus]
      F/C                        C
Evangeline can't you see I'm sorry

                  F/C                        G
Can't you hear my tears ringin through the night 

         C  C/B             Am      F/C
I wait in hell between these bed sheets

             C G             C
And pray to God for morning light

         C  C/B             Am      F/C
I wait in hell between these bed sheets

             C G             C
And pray to God for morning light
