Left me In a Hole by YMSB, from Elevation
G // D // C //// pattern repeats for verses
 G   D   C   C4x times for intro.
GDivorcee goes Dto the bars
A Csophisticat pulls up in his car
GA hopeful youth waits Dfor the first star to Ccome out
GThe sky above can Dbe so mean, the Cclouds cover what should be seen
GAnd there ain't much Dleft too keen in Cmy book
 G//  D//  C//// 
Hangin' on to someone else, he tells you that peace sells
And you see him like all's well, I ain't jealous
Though you used to listen to me,
My inner thoughts have made you flee
I know you were just tryin' to be what you want to be
AmI let you in to Gsee me for real
AmAnd you walked right out that's Gwhat I feelG/F#  
EmYou said you Dneeded time to be GalGonCeG  G  G  C  G  
Chorus:
AmAnd like the youth I Glooked above
AmFeeling stranded Gwithout loveG/F#  
EmThe time was Dwrong, and you left me in a Ghole
You Dleft me in Chole (you left me in a Ghole)
You Dleft me in Chole
 G   D   C   C(solo break)
The rain it comes, the rain it goes
The question is, she friend or foe
The story-teller looks to his toes, he's stuck here
The dragon's breath is on my neck
Which way is home, hold on a sec
The bartender put a bottle of beer on the table
Many people, they believe that Jesus came here to relieve
All the problems that we breathe on each other
And I don't care just what you do,
Or what you think, that's up to you
You see, those thoughts of yours are not new to me at all
AmAnd is it these thoughts that Gmade you believe
AmThat there's nothing here so Gyou shall leaveG/F#  
EmWhile I sit Dhere with my guitar in my handG  G  C  G  G  G  C  G  
Chorus:
AmAnd like the youth I Glooked above
AmFeeling stranded Gwithout loveG/F#  
EmThe time was Dwrong, and you left me in a Ghole
You Dleft me in Chole (you left me in a Ghole)
You Dleft me in Chole
[Instrumental Break]
A hungry baby starts to cry, an old man's about to die
And all I can do is sit back and sigh, what's my problem
Ignore the problem, that's the key
Said the woman beneath the tree
If your eyes are closed, you can't see the sunrise
The phone, it rings, who could it be
Well, it ain't her, and it's not for me
Forgetting's as easy as 1-2-3 my friends say
Her face is still all too clear, her leaving me was my biggest fear
Something's got to help me steer away from her
You have your life, and I have mine,
Maybe we'll meet again some other time
Down the long road, on another plain
[ Chorus ]
You left me in hole (you left me in a hole)...

The rain it comes, the rain it goes

The question is, she friend or foe

The bartender put a bottle of beer on the table

Many people, they believe that Jesus came here to relieve

All the problems that we breathe on each other

And I don't care just what you do,

Or what you think, that's up to you

You see, those thoughts of yours are not new to me at all
