Standard (EADGBE)
You promised me love - that would never die
That promise you made - was only a lie
Now after you've gone - all alone I'll pine
For all that I've got - is a Worried Mind
I gave you a ring - I gave you a home
You promised me true - that you'd never roam
I bought you find clothes - and I bought you wine
But all that you gave - is a Worried Mind.
And when I was down - you just left me there
I needed you so - but you didn't care
You found a new love - and a home so fine
But all that I've got - is a Worried Mind.
