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


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


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


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

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

               Gm
Don't leave us down and out again
              F
The little girl can't comprehend
                Cm
She had another dream that her mama's gone
         Dm                       D
She's alright, but you're all wrong
