Vs 1
C
You left me for a dream you had to follow
G
But I thought goodbye wouldn't last that
D Em
long. You'd go off chasin' fainbows till
C Am
you realized I loved you. And then run
D
back to my arms where you belonged.
Em
But months have passed I guess I was
C G
mistaken. And love was something I thought
D
I knew well.
C
But when I called you on the phone asking
G C
when you'd come back home.
G D G
You simply told me I could go to hell.
Ch.
G D
Well honey if hell had a jukebox and the
C D G
devil kept it full of hurting songs.
C
You could find me there this evening with
G C G
the brokenhearted grieving. Praying like
D G
hell you would come back home.
Vs 2
I've looked at all the pictures from our
C G
good times. And tried to figure out where
D Em
we went wrong. And I've dropped a million
C Am
quarters down the jukebox. Cause I'm still
D
haunted by what used to be our song.
Em C
I wish this mental torture would release
G
me. Lord, I've give all I had for what it's
D C
worth. I don't see how the fires below,
G C G
where you wanted me to go. Could be worse
D G
than Hell I'm living here on Earth
Repeat Chorus.
C
Yes, you could find me there this evening
G C
With the brokenhearted grieving.
G D G
Prayin' like hell you would come back home.
