[verse]
         Em
When I hear them use your name
        D
I get all choked up inside
         Em
It's not only from the shame
           D
It's like ten different lovers died
                Am
Except you're still just a mile away
               Bm             B
But there's nothing left to say


[chorus]
               Em
Don't leave us down and out again
               D
Cause we might break instead of bend
                Am
I felt a little strain in the pouring rain
            Bm               B
It washed away most everything


[verse]
         Em
If I found another love
           D
They must be forever true
             Em
Cause if someone breaks this heart
           D
Your old man right here is through
             Am
Heaven just seems so far away
                Bm             B
When there's nothing left to say


[chorus]
               Em
Don't leave us down and out again
               D
Cause we might break instead of bend
                Am
I felt a little strain in the pouring rain
            Bm               B
It washed away most everything


[bridge]
D A G Bm B


[chorus]
               Em
Don't leave us down and out again
               D
Cause we might break instead of bend
                Am
I felt a little strain in the pouring rain
            Bm               B
It washed away most everything

               Em
Don't leave us down and out again
              D
The little girl can't comprehend
                Am
She had another dream that her mama's gone
         Bm                       B
She's alright, but you're all wrong
