To know its not my fault

VERSE 2:
C Am
Its been so long
F
Since you've been home
G
I used to wait up forever
C Am
I used to say a prayer
F
Wishing you were there
G
And I'm still waiting
C Am
You told me once
You'd show up
F
But I fell for that
G
Before I fell to pieces
C Am
Then I woke up
To no one
F
Just a picture of Jesus
G
And a house left in pieces
