[Verse 1]
EmHer mother came and Gpacked her bags anCd drove her off Gto nowhere
In the shadows of her second father's shoulders she just stood there
EmCryDinCg
EmSheD's Gcrying
EmThen the wicked lies rolled Goff her tongue like Cwar-bound soldiers Gmarching
EmAnd she ran from the Gtruth like wounded Cmen run from the Gdarkness
EmWheDn Cthey're dying
EmSheD's Gdying
[Chorus]
CAnd I told her I loved her
GAnd she told me sEmhe's leaving
CJust like every other person in my Glife that I've Embelieved in
CAnd as she slammed the door and walked away
I turned on my Gradio
COoooh no
And I played her a dancing Dsong
And got her Ghome
[Verse 2]
EmAnd I had more Gfaith in her than her Cmother had in GJesus
EmBut like Judas she Grebuked my name for Cjewels and silver Gpieces
EmA weDdding Cring
EmA weDddiGng ring
EmAnd in my darkest Ghour her eyes Cfilled with Gdesperation
EmHer words were sharp and her Gsword was swift, Lord CI have been forGsaken
EmBy Dmy Cone true love
EmMy DonGe true love
[Chorus]
CAnd I told her I loved her
GAnd she told me sEmhe's leaving
CJust like every other person in my Glife that I've Embelieved in
CAnd as she slammed the door and walked away
I turned on my Gradio
COoooh no
And I played her a dancing Dsong
And got her Ghome
[Verse 3]
EmAs I lie Galone tonight in the Cbed we built and Gonce shared
EmI wonder where you Gare, who you're Cwith, do you think that Ghe cares
EmAboDut Cyou
EmAboDut Gyou
EmNow I am not a Ggodly man, my Croad's twisted and Gsinful
EmBut to have you back, I'd Gbow my head and sing a CSouthern Baptist Ghymnal

[Verse 1]

Em G C G

Her mother came and packed her bags and drove her off to nowhere

In the shadows of her second father's shoulders she just stood there

Em D C

Crying

Em D G

She's crying

Em G C G

Then the wicked lies rolled off her tongue like war-bound soldiers marching

Em G C G

And she ran from the truth like wounded men run from the darkness

Em D C

When they're dying

Em D G

She's dying

[Chorus]

And I told her I loved her

G Em

And she told me she's leaving

C G Em

Just like every other person in my life that I've believed in

And as she slammed the door and walked away

I turned on my radio

Ooooh no

And I played her a dancing song

And got her home

[Verse 2]

Em G C G

And I had more faith in her than her mother had in Jesus

Em G C G

But like Judas she rebuked my name for jewels and silver pieces

Em D C

A wedding ring

Em D G

A wedding ring

Em G C G

And in my darkest hour her eyes filled with desperation

Em G C G

Her words were sharp and her sword was swift, Lord I have been forsaken

Em D C

By my one true love

Em D G

My one true love

[Chorus]

And I told her I loved her

G Em

And she told me she's leaving

C G Em

Just like every other person in my life that I've believed in

And as she slammed the door and walked away

I turned on my radio

Ooooh no

And I played her a dancing song

And got her home

[Verse 3]

Em G C G

As I lie alone tonight in the bed we built and once shared

Em G C G

I wonder where you are, who you're with, do you think that he cares

Em D C

About you

Em D G

About you

Em G C G

Now I am not a godly man, my road's twisted and sinful

Em G C G

But to have you back, I'd bow my head and sing a Southern Baptist hymnal

Em D C

Hallelujah

Em D C

Hallelujah

Em D C G

Hallelujah

Em D G

Hallelujah
