[Verse 1] G I've been shattered and broken, for most of my life D But I've done pretty good, with a job and a wife Em Got a family that loves me, and a good piece of land C That I bought with hard work, that I earned with these hands
[Pre-Chorus 1] G D Well these things that I do Em C I did them for you [Chorus] G So just tell me you love me, and tell me you'll stay D And you'll watch over this house, while I go away Em And just promise to be here, when I get back home C So we can start where we left off, all those years ago [Refrain] G D Before my demons... they took control Em C Lost and lonely, out here on the road [Verse 2] G 'Cause I've been careless and selfish, got no self respect D I'm an albatross hanging around my own neck Em I'm a hard one to handle, and I've played the fool C And I'm so hard to love, cause I break all the rules [Pre-Chorus 2] G D Well these things that I do Em C 'Cause I couldn't have you [Chorus]
G So just tell me you love me, and tell me you'll stay D And you'll watch over this house, while I go away Em And just promise to be here, when I get back home C So we can start where we left off, all those years ago [Refrain] G D Before my demons... they took control Em C Lost and lonely, out here on the road [Chorus] G So just tell me you love me, and tell me you'll stay D And you'll watch over this house, while I go away Em And just promise to be here, when I get back home C So we can start where we left off, all those years ago [Refrain] G D Before my demons... they took control Em C Lost and lonely, out here on the road
