FROM YOUR KNEES
Matt King / Patty Loveless
From the CD "Hard Country"
[INTRO]
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 GplaceG7  
He Cwaited too late to Gsay he was wrong
His Chouse was still standing, but his Fhome was gone
Brother Cyou would Enot be AmlieveD  
FWhat you can Gsee from your Cknees
[Fiddle Solo]
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 GplaceG7  
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 AmlieveD  
Brother Cyou would Enot be AmlieveDsus  D  
FWhat you can Gsee from your Cknees

FROM YOUR KNEES

Matt King / Patty Loveless

From the CD "Hard Country"

[INTRO]

He tore down the work of 17 years

G C

Brick by brick and stone by stone

No hammer was swingin', cause cheatin' and drinkin'

Don't need no help wreckin' a home

Aww, but when he came back to the dust and the rubble

Of what he has once called his life

He dropped to his knees, in sheer disbelief

G C

At the total destruction in sight

C G

There were empty closests and empty drawers

C F

And a tear-stained note on the kitchen floor

C G G7

And burning memories, in the fire place

C G

He waited too late to say he was wrong

C F

His house was still standing, but his home was gone

C E Am D

Brother you would not be lieve

F G C

What you can see from your knees

[Fiddle Solo]

Right then and there, in an old sinner's prayer

G C

He told things he kept in the dark

There was no use in lying, 'cause the man who was listenin'

Could see every room in his heart

Well, he took empty whiskey bottles, little black book and all

To the fire she left on the grate

Sometimes a man will change on his own

G C

Sometimes - I tell you, it takes

C G

Empty closests and empty drawers

C F

And a tearful confession on the kitchen floor

C G G7

And burning memories, in the fire place

C G

He waited too late to say he was wrong

C F

His house was still standing, he'd fight for his home

C E Am D

Brother you would not be lieve

C E Am Dsus D

Brother you would not be lieve
