A cold night in the kitchen
Saying Cthings we both reGgret
And Cyou scream, you were Gleaving
And you cursed the day we Dmet
Then a sound rose aCbove the Dslamming Gdoor
    ~                   Em  C  
And broken dishes thrown around the floor
So loud it made us Gstop
It was the Amsound G/Bof a CtearDdrop___
CHORUS:
N.C.               C  G  
When I heard her crying
Thought she was Ctucked aDway in Gbed
I G/F#heard her EmcryingC  
Wish we could take back what we Dsaid
I didn't think she was Cold eDnough to Gknow
G/F#Oh lord, we Emmust have hurt her Cso
When she begged you not to Ggo
I heard her DcryGingD  G  
N.C.  G  
Well, I'd have given anything
For Ctime to eGrase
When I Cturned around and Gsaw
Those little tears roll down her Dface
Oh, my heart Cnearly Dbroke in Gtwo
     ~                   Em  C  
When she said, "Mommy what did I do
To make you and daddy Gmad
Oh, I'm Amsorry I was bDad"
N.C.    G  
Well, I looked at you and you looked at me
And we Cfelt each other's Gshame
Then Ckneeling down to Ghold our child
Said, she was not to Dblame
"Now Csometimes when we're Dangry
                   G~       Em  
And say things that aren't true
But Cwe still love each Gother 
And Dbaby, we love Gyou"
CHORUS:
N.C.              C  G  
And I heard her crying
Thought she was Ctucked aDway in Gbed
Oh, I G/F#heard her EmcryingC  
Wish we could take back what we Dsaid
I didn't think she was Cold eDnough to Gknow
G/F#Oh lord, we Emmust have hurt her Cso
When she begged you not to Ggo
I heard her DcryGingD  G
