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


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


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


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

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

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