AmYou didn't even have Cadd99the decency to intervene
Fadd9while I was begging GGod for
You to love me
Verse 2:
Am (hold strings)
I prayed about us every night
Asus4Boy I know you had to hFear me
Am (hold strings)
You could've stopped me then and told the truth
Asus4But instead you pulled the pillow ovFer your head
Chorus:
AmAnd you left me on myFadd9 knees
FYou just walked out the Gdoor
AmYou didn't even have Cadd99the decency to intervene
Fadd9while I was begging GGod for
You to love me
Bridge: Am, F, F, G
AmYou should'veF told me itF was useleGss,
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
AmAnd I know that He had something Fbetter to do
Than to sFit and listen to a broken-hearted Gfool
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:
AmAnd you left me on myFadd9 knees
FYou just walked out the Gdoor
AmYou didn't even have Cadd99the decency to intervene
Fadd9while I was begging GGod for
You to love me
