G
Monday evening, lying down for bed

I got the day's news hangin' in my head
      Em                 C
I got too much stuff to do
             G
And so do you


[Verse 2]
 G
Went down to Houston to see if I could find

That piece of something that could ease my mind
                     Em
I couldn't find the answer, only found more
C
pain
                   G
When it pours, it rains


[Chorus]
Em               G
Honey, can't you see?
     Em                G      C
It's killin' you, it's killin' me
Em                C        G
Got to leave that ball and chain
 Em                  G         C
Livin' that way only brings us pain

G G Em C G


[Verse 3]
G                                C    G
Ain't it kinda funny how you can feel alone
     C        G           C        G
Even when I'm there, even when I'm home?
             Em                C
Handfuls of worry in her fingertips
                 G       C G
Runnin' from your lips


[Chorus]
Em               G
Honey, can't you see?
     Em                G      c
It's killin' you, it's killin' me
Em                C        G
Got to leave that ball and chain
 Em                  G         C
Livin' that way only brings us pain
                G
Only brings us pain

G C G Em C G  x3


[Outro]
C G                    C        G
  Houston never did no good for me

It was just another town with dead end streets
      Em               C
And I swore to myself, this time I was
       G      C
comin' home
G                          C  G
Every time I think I wanna be alone

Every time I get a little bit on my own
Em                        C
Well, I always regret the things that I
      G     C
never said
G                                C       G
So I turned it around and headed back to you

And I thought about everything I put you through
    Em                           C
And you deserve better than I've ever let
     G      C
you know
G                      C      G
Cross my heart, honey, when I die

I'll have been a better man with you by my side
       Em                     C
And I swear I ain't leavin', never leavin'
     G
you alone

G C G Em C G
Ohhhh Ahhhh Ohhhh
G C G Em C G
Ohhhh Ahhhh Ohhhh
G C G Em C G
Ohhhh Ahhhh Ohhhh
G C G Em C G
Ohhhh Ahhhh Ohhhh
