F C Am G F
[Verse]
F C
Went out the door, into the morning darkness
Am G F
gravel underfoot, heard the screen door gently close
C
I slid across the seat, the steering wheel was cold
Am G F
tiny icicles on the glass in the corner of the windows
C
The desert air was dry, they were melted in the instant
Am G F
I pulled on to the highway, and I began to cry
C
I was leaving her behind, it was really for the best
Am G F
I had something deep inside, boundless anger without reason
[Chorus]
F C
Yeah, we all got someone we left behind
G Am
'cause we're just weren’t right in our hearts and our minds
F C G
Yeah, we all got someone we were lucky to find in the first place
F C
Yeah, we all got someone we never treated right
G Am
We were selfish and drinking, staying out all night
F C G C
Yeah, we all got someone we were lucky to find in the first place
[Verse]
F C
When she awakes, I hope that she's not sad
Am G F
I loved her from the first time I laid my eyes upon her
C
We got a little house, drove a truck, played in a band
Am G F
got some Mexican chickens, and we raised them on our land
C
Talked of having little girls, they’d have their mother's little curls
Am G F
it was more than a dream, yeah, one day they'd be real
C
I played out on the road, at first she came along,
A Gm F
sang the harmonies, mixed the sound, sold the albums and the singles
C
I hung out in the bar, drinking until the closing time
Am G F
I was foolish, I was selfish, I'd find her sleeping in the car
[Chorus]
F C
Yeah we all got someone we left behind
G Am
'cause we're just weren’t right in our hearts and our minds
F C G
Yeah we all got someone we were lucky to find in the first place
F C
Yeah we all got someone we never treated right
G Am
We were selfish and drinking, staying out all night
F C G C
Yeah we all got someone we were lucky to find in the first place
[Verse]
F C
She went back to our house, to feed and raise the animals
Am G F
we slowly grew apart, as I was growing meaner
C
I drank when I got up, cause the motel room was hot
Am G F
or something stupid I had done, I was lonely for my girl
C
there was always someone else and then there was another
Am G F
I could barely stand myself, I was stoned all the time
C
when I finally came back home, she said something changed inside you
Am G F
I smashed a glass against the wall, went walking in the desert
C
When I come on back, she was sleeping peacefully
Am G F
I knew that she was better, better off without me
C
The little girls were there, I saw their faces in her hair
Am G F
but now it was clear, I would never be their father
C
Put on my coat and hat, slid the deadbolt in the hasp
Am G F
took one last look back at her, I stepped across the threshold.
