Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro 2x

I hate to be

To be the one

Who's given up and feels that all our hope is gone

But what I thought

Was a miracle

Just turned into the same old

Problem that it was

Prechorus

She longs for better days

She's always been afraid

Chorus

It's a shame, oh it's a shame

That you are throwing your whole life away

It's a shame, oh it's a shame

I wonder if you're ever going to change

It's a shame

Verse 2

Ever since I can recall

She has been so afraid

Of you losing it all

What do you want?

Do you even know?

And is it worth the pain?

We all have to endure

Prechorus

She longs for better days

She's always been afraid

Chorus

Bridge

You left her without leaving

You hit her without swinging

You took away without giving a thing

Except for pain and sorrow

I'm praying that tomorrow

You will open up your eyes and see

Chorus
