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


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


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


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

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

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