[Intro]
G  C  G  D
[Verse 1]
Scratched a Gheart on your door then I Cshowed myself outGside
Lashed my Gsoul 'cross this twin-v Chorse and rode off in the Gnight
Guess you Cnoticed I'm gone and the Emold mornin' sun's castin' Cshadows with questions Dinside
So the Gtruth in this letter at Cdawn will shed a new GlightD  
[Chorus]
Cadd9Truth  C/Bis, I Glied when I said I'd always be your whippin' pet
I Emlied when I said I didn't mind the hurt I guess
When I Cpleaded and stated I needed you just to sDurvive (I lieCd)
Cadd9Truth  C/Bis, last Gnight when you tore my heart apart my mind began
Never tEmhinkin' 'bout thinkin' like your fool again
And the Cfreedom that filled me kept spellin' out truth as I'd DwriteC  
Cadd9Truth  C/Bis  I Gli C- GedD  
[Verse 2]
Saw an Gimage of you where the Chighway touched the Gsky
It was Gblockin' my view so I sCteered that thought aGside
Now the Cmornin' and me ride a Emcold memory past Ctomorrow to some other tDown
Where we'll Gnever care whether this tCruth was lost or GfoundD  
[Chorus]
Cadd9Truth  C/Bis   I Glied when I said I'd always be your whippin' pet
