C    Am  F    C   G   C

[Verse]
                   Am       F
I always pretended for your sake
       C             G                     C
So you wouldn't know how you made my heart break
                            Am       F
I tried so hard to save you from yourself
                  C       G        C      G/B
But I never could cry out loud for help

[Chorus]
F     G                Am     C     G/B
All I did was help you tell a lie
    F          G              Am       C     G/B
You never even knew it when I said goodbye
  F      G         Am         C
I ran so far and I don't know why

[Verse]
                    Am    F
You never even knew who I was
    C            G                  C
You saw about as far as a blind man does
                           Am      F
I carried you with me everywhere I went
  C            G                      C      G/B
I carried everything till my back was bent

[Chorus]
F     G                Am     C     G/B
All I did was help you tell a lie
    F          G              Am       C     G/B
You never even knew it when I said goodbye
   F        G             Am         C
It keeps on raining and I don't know why

[Instrumental]
C    Am  F    C   G   C   Am  F   C   G   C

[Verse]
                          Am      F
All our words are written down in chalk
C          G               C
Out in the rain on the sidewalk
                           Am   F
If all our heartaches were in a stack
                  C         G          C      G/B
They'd go all the way up to heaven and back

[Chorus]
F        G            Am            C    G/B
We don't know all the trouble we're in
F             G          Am    C     G/B
We don't know how to get home again
F       G                Am       C
Someone come and save us from our sin
