Verse 1:
 
G                    
I tried my best to keep you here  
Esus4                   G 
But it's hard to hold a shadow  
G                    
You said goodbye but I couldn't hear  
Esus4                   G 
Too busy praying for a miracle  


[Refrão]

Em                   Cadd9 
And you left me on my knees  
G                       D 
You just walked out the door  
Em                   Cadd9 
You didn't even have the decency to intervene  
Cadd9                D 
while I was begging God for  

You to love me  


Verse 2:
 
Em                
I prayed about us every night  
Esus4                  G 
Boy I know you had to hear me  
Em               (hold strings) 
You could've stopped me then and told the truth  
Esus4                               G 
But instead you pulled the pillow over your head

Em                   Cadd9 
And you left me on my knees  
G                       D 
You just walked out the door  
Em                   Cadd9 
You didn't even have the decency to intervene  
Cadd9                D 
while I was begging God for  

You to love me  


Bridge: Em  C  G  D
 
Em           C          G         D 
You should've told me it was useless, 

That I was praying empty prayers  

But you hopped in your car, pulled out your keys  

While you were leaving, I was begging God for you to love me  
Em                               C 
And I know that He had something better to do  
         G                                 D 
Than to sit and listen to a broken-hearted fool  

Could've been saving the world from a tragedy,  

But instead He was listening to me  

I was asking, begging for a sign to bring  

comfort to this lonely heart of mine  

But apparently you're not what I need  

I guess you walking out was Him answering

And you left me on my knees  
G                       D 
You just walked out the door  
Em                   Cadd9 
You didn't even have the decency to intervene  
Cadd9                D 
while I was begging God for  

You to love me
