[verse]
Dm
When I hear them use your name
C
I get all choked up inside
Dm
It's not only from the shame
C
It's like ten different lovers died
Gm
Except you're still just a mile away
Am A
But there's nothing left to say
[chorus]
Dm
Don't leave us down and out again
C
Cause we might break instead of bend
Gm
I felt a little strain in the pouring rain
Am A
It washed away most everything
[verse]
Dm
If I found another love
C
They must be forever true
Dm
Cause if someone breaks this heart
C
Your old man right here is through
Gm
Heaven just seems so far away
Am A
When there's nothing left to say
[chorus]
Dm
Don't leave us down and out again
C
Cause we might break instead of bend
Gm
I felt a little strain in the pouring rain
Am A
It washed away most everything
[bridge]
C G F Am A
[chorus]
Dm
Don't leave us down and out again
C
Cause we might break instead of bend
Gm
I felt a little strain in the pouring rain
Am A
It washed away most everything
Dm
Don't leave us down and out again
C
The little girl can't comprehend
Gm
She had another dream that her mama's gone
Am A
She's alright, but you're all wrong
