[VERSE 1]
[Em]Her mother came and[G] packed her bags an[C]d drove her off [G]to nowhere
In the shadows of her second father's shoulders she just stood there
[Em]Cry[D]in[C]g
[Em]She[D]'s[G] crying
[Em]Then the wicked lies rolled [G]off her tongue like [C]war-bound soldiers [G]marching
[Em]And she ran from the [G]truth like wounded [C]men run from the [G]darkness
[Em]Whe[D]n [C]they're dying
[Em]She[D]'s[G] dying
[CHORUS]
[C]And I told her I loved her
[G]And she told me s[Em]he's leaving
[C]Just like every other person in my [G]life that I've [Em]believed in
[C]And as she slammed the door and walked away
I turned on my [G]radio
[C]Ooooh no
And I played her a dancing [D]song
And got her [G]home
[VERSE 2]
[Em]And I had more [G]faith in her than her [C]mother had in [G]Jesus
[Em]But like Judas she [G]rebuked my name for [C]jewels and silver[G] pieces
[Em]A we[D]dding[C] ring
[Em]A we[D]ddi[G]ng ring
[Em]And in my darkest [G]hour her eyes [C]filled with [G]desperation
[Em]Her words were sharp and her [G]sword was swift, Lord [C]I have been for[G]saken
[Em]By [D]my[C] one true love
[Em]My [D]on[G]e true love
[CHORUS]
[C]And I told her I loved her
[G]And she told me s[Em]he's leaving
[C]Just like every other person in my [G]life that I've [Em]believed in
[C]And as she slammed the door and walked away
I turned on my [G]radio
[C]Ooooh no
And I played her a dancing [D]song
And got her [G]home
[VERSE 3]
[Em]As I lie [G]alone tonight in the[C] bed we built and [G]once shared
[Em]I wonder where you [G]are, who you're [C]with, do you think that[G] he cares
[Em]Abo[D]ut[C] you
[Em]Abo[D]ut[G] you
[Em]Now I am not a [G]godly man, my [C]road's twisted and [G]sinful
[Em]But to have you back, I'd [G]bow my head and sing a [C]Southern Baptist [G]hymnal
[Em]Hal[D]le[C]lujah
[Em]Hal[D]lel[C]ujah
[Em]Hal[D]le[C]lu[G]jah
[Em]Hal[D]le[G]lujah
