C    Em   F    G

[Verse 1]
   C       Em           C             F
He lied he cheated till he broke your heart
        C               Am               Dm7    G
And you can't count the teardrops you've cried
   C        Em        C7         F
He made you afraid to make a new start
    C                 G     C     G
And that's why you've never tried

[Chorus]
    C          G       C    C7
But that was before my time
    F                    C    C7
And darling that's all behind
     F                  C             Am
I'll help you forget in these arms of mine
     C          G       C    G
What happened before my time

You've never had someone to love you so strong
     C            Am          Dm7  G
That nothing else mattered at all
  C           Em            C    C7        F
I know you've carried those heartaches too long
    C           G
And now you're afraid to

I'll help you forget in these arms of mine
