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

Chorus:
Em Cadd9
And you left me on my knees
G D
You just walked out the door
Em Cadd99
You didn't even have the decency to intervene
Cadd9 D
while I was begging God for

You to love me

Verse 2:
Em (hold strings)
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

Chorus:
Em Cadd9
And you left me on my knees
G D
You just walked out the door
Em Cadd99
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


Chorus:
Em Cadd9
And you left me on my knees
G D
You just walked out the door
Em Cadd99
You didn't even have the decency to intervene
Cadd9 D
while I was begging God for

You to love me

Verse 1:
G (hold strings)
I tried my best to keep you here
Esus4 G
But it's hard to hold a shadow
