If I could find the strenght I need
G                    Bm
to do the thing I should
A
I just walk on out that door
D         G       D
Be rid of you for good
G                      F#m                  G                     Bm
But a man ain't always strong enoughto tell himself that he's been wrong
D                     F#m           G              A

D               F#m
If I had only known the thoughts
G                    Bm
That went on in your mind
A
Then I could have left you to
D          G        D
The others of your kind
G             F#m                  G                     Bm
I know that I should leave you now but I just ain't that strong
D                     F#m           G              A
Why can't I just come home one night and you'd be gone

D                  F#m
I cried things you do me
G                    Bm
That make me live in shame
A
Everybody knows how loosly
D         G        D
You have worn my name
G                   F#m                  G                    Bm
I guess I have more love and pride even thoug my love's all wrong
D                     F#m           G              A
Why can't I just come home one night and you'd be gone
