Patty Loveless - From your knees

He ^Ctore down the work of 17 years Brick by brick and ^Gstone by ^Cstone No hammer was swingin', cause cheatin' and drinkin' Don't ^Gneed no help wreckin' a home Aww, but ^Cwhen he came back to the dust and the rubble Of what he has once called his ^Flife He dropped to his knees, in ^Csheer disbelief At the ^Gtotal destruction in ^Csight

There were ^Cempty closests and ^Gempty drawers And a ^Ctear-stained note on the ^Fkitchen floor And ^Cburning memories, in the fire ^Gplace ^G7 He ^Cwaited too late to ^Gsay he was wrong His ^Chouse was still standing, but his ^Fhome was gone Brother ^Cyou would ^Enot be ^Amlieve ^{D F}What you can ^Gsee from your ^Cknees

^CRight then and there, in an old sinner's prayer He told things he ^Gkept in the ^Cdark There was no use in lying, 'cause the man who was listenin' Could ^Gsee every room in his heart Well, he took ^Cempty whiskey bottles, little black book and all To the fire she left on the ^Fgrate Sometimes a man will ^Cchange on his own ^GSometimes - I tell you, it ^Ctakes

^CEmpty closests and ^Gempty drawers And a ^Ctearful confession on the ^Fkitchen floor And ^Cburning memories, in the fire ^Gplace ^G7 He ^Cwaited too late to ^Gsay he was wrong His ^Chouse was still standing, he'd ^Ffight for his home Brother ^Cyou would ^Enot be ^Amlieve ^D Brother ^Cyou would ^Enot be ^Amlieve ^{Dsus D F}What you can ^Gsee from your ^Cknees
