C                       G7
The woman was kind to reveal her deception

Am                  F       C
Lately there’d been someone new

                          G7
A man’s got his pride and I’m no exception

  Am                        F     C
I lied when I told her that I had too

                             F            C  G7
And I took it like a man and cried like a baby

                           C
While she was here I stood tall and strong

                             F         C    G7
Now my knees are weak and my tears are rolling

                                C
I’m hurtin’ bad cause now she’s gone

                           G7
Well making it easy was my sole intention

Am                  F    C
I could see she was torn apart

                      G7
With that in mind I neglected to mention

Am                 F        C
Just how badly she broke my heart

                             F            C  G7
And I took it like a man and cried like a baby

                           C
While she was here I stood tall and strong

                             F         C    G7
Now my knees are weak and my tears are rolling

                                C
I’m hurtin’ bad cause now she’s gone

                           G7
They say that the ultimate act of a lover

Am                           F       C
Is to think of the other and not yourself

                            G7
As long as she’s happy then nothing else matters

Am                       F       C
Too bad she’s happy with someone else

                             F            C  G7
And I took it like a man and cried like a baby

                           C
While she was here I stood tall and strong

                             F         C    G7
Now my knees are weak and my tears are rolling

                                C
I’m hurtin’ bad cause now she’s gone
