Buddy Miller - Written In Chalk
Capo 3
[Verse 1]
D G
I always pretended for your sake
A G
So you wouldn't know how you make my heart break
D G
I tried so hard to save you from yourself
A G
But I never could cry out loud for help
G A Bm G
All I did was help you tell a lie
G A Bm G
You never even knew it when I said goodbye
G Bm A G
I ran so far and I don't know why
[Verse 2]
D G
You never even knew who I was
A G
You saw about as far as a blind man does
D G
I carried you with me every where I went
A G
I carried every thing till my back was bent
G A Bm G
All I did was help you tell a lie
G A Bm G
You never even knew it when I said goodbye
G Bm A G
It won't stop raining and I don't know why
[solo]
[Verse 3]
D G
All our words are written down in chalk
A G
Out in the rain out on the sidewalk
D G
If we put all our heartaches in a stack
A G
They'd go all the way up to heaven and back
G A Bm G
We don't know all the trouble we're in
G A Bm G
We don't know how to get home again
G Bm A G
Jesus come and save us from our sins
Ummm. Ummm Ummm
