C G F#m C G
C G F#m C G
(Verse 1)
Em D G
She wakes up in the morning
Em D G
Wipes the sleep out of her eyes
Em D C
I'll be calling in the evening
G C G
Around suppertime
(Verse 2)
Em D G
Packed up half of my belongings
Em D G
With an aching in my chest
Em D C
Yeah, my friends, they know about me
G C G
Why I left
(Chorus 1)
C D Em
There?s a lot of proud people with odd laid plans
G
I was only guessing
C G
Learning how to stand
(Verse 3)
Em D G
There?s a cold set in the valley
Em D G
It's been hanging on for days
Em D C
No better time for feeling sorry
G C G
Maybe change your ways
(Chorus 2)
C D Em
And it's all about timing when you show your hand
G
I was only guessing
C G
Trying to understand
C G D G
And I never meant to leave you behind
C G D G
I can't be there to fight your fight
C G D Em
Been a lot of sad days and too many hard nights
G C G
I was on the sideline reaching for the light
(Interlude)
C G F#m C G
C G F#m C G
(Chorus 3)
C D Em
Everybody's saying do the best you can
G
I was always guessing
C G
Trying to make a stand
C G D G
And I never meant to leave you behind
C G D G
I can't be there to fight your fight
C G D Em
There's a lot of sad days and too many hard nights
G C G
I was on the sideline reaching for the light
