Verse 1:
G (hold strings)
I tried my best to keep you here
Esus4But it's hard to hold a Gshadow
G (hold strings)
You said goodbye but I couldn't hear
Esus4Too busy praying for a mGiracle
Chorus:
EmAnd you left me on myCadd9 knees
GYou just walked out the Ddoor
EmYou didn't even have Cadd99the decency to intervene
Cadd9while I was begging GDod for
You to love me
Verse 2:
Em (hold strings)
I prayed about us every night
Esus4Boy I know you had to hGear me
Em (hold strings)
You could've stopped me then and told the truth
Esus4But instead you pulled the pillow ovGer your head
Chorus:
EmAnd you left me on myCadd9 knees
GYou just walked out the Ddoor
EmYou didn't even have Cadd99the decency to intervene
Cadd9while I was begging GDod for
You to love me
Bridge: Em, C, G, D
EmYou should'veC told me itG was useleDss,
That I was praying empty prayers
But you hopped in your car, pulled out your keys
While you were leaving, I was begging God for you to love me
EmAnd I know that He had something Cbetter to do
Than to sGit and listen to a broken-hearted Dfool
Could've been saving the world from a tragedy,
But instead He was listening to me
I was asking, begging for a sign to bring
comfort to this lonely heart of mine
But apparently you're not what I need
I guess you walking out was Him answering
Chorus:
EmAnd you left me on myCadd9 knees
GYou just walked out the Ddoor
EmYou didn't even have Cadd99the decency to intervene
Cadd9while I was begging GDod for
You to love me
