[Verse 1]
Em Cadd9 G
When your name rolls off my tongue
Em Cadd9 G
I start to lose control
Em Cadd9 G
The sweetest sound I've ever heard
Em Cadd9 G
The sweetest song that I know

Em Cadd9 G
I get lost in your whispers
Em Cadd9 G
As you crawl across my bed
Em Cadd9 G
In all my twenty-five Decembers
Em Cadd9 G
More I love you's ain't been said
[Chorus]
D
I'm like a preacher when he prays
Cadd9 G
I'm on my knees and leave your name
D G
But it's painted blue right on my front door
D
I've been broke down and I've been fooled
Cadd9 G
By time and age and some by you
D G
So I just lay here with a bottle on the floor
D G
So when the pain starts to creep in
Em Cadd9 Am
I just pour another shot again
Em Cadd9 G
So I don't have to miss you anymore
[Instrumental]
Cadd9 G Em Cadd9 G
[Verse 2]
Em Cadd9 G
While this poison just seeps in
Em Cadd9 G
My mind just runs in place
Em Cadd9 G
I've been hanging by a clothes pin
Em Cadd9 G
Time stands still on my clock's face
[Chorus]
D
I'm like a preacher when he prays
Cadd9 G
I'm on my knees and leave your name
D G
But it's painted blue right on my front door
D
I've been broke down and I've been fooled
Cadd9 G
By time and age and some by you
D G
So I just lay here with a bottle on the floor
D G
So when the pain starts to creep in
Em Cadd9 Am
I just pour another shot again
Em Cadd9 G
So I don't have to miss you anymore
[Bridge]
C D G
Yea my voice, it's had too many cigarettes
C D G
And too much alcohol
C D G
I'll be damned if I don't leave all this mess
C D G
I'll get away, if I have to crawl
[Instrumental] (x2)

[Verse 3]
Em Cadd9 G
You're still the dream that I remember
Em Cadd9 G
You still have God on your side
Em Cadd9 G
Our love is still a burning ember
Em Cadd9 G
Too bad you traded my love for your pride
[Chorus]
D
I'm like a preacher when he prays

I'm on my knees and leave your name

Em Cadd9 G
So I don't have to miss you anymore
