Album: Home
Writers: Natalie Maines/Martie Maguire/Marty Stuart


Intro:  E7

E7
Well there was a little falter at the altar of confession 
E                       D A       E
Down on its knees true lo-ve did fall
      E7
After 31 days of sleepless nights, she woke up to end it all 
      A                 E7             B               E
With "I love you" on a fresh tattoo engraved upon his chest
    C#m       E          B       E
She tore her name right off his heart 
    G         A     E
So here's to the unblessed 


Chorus:
    A        E        B       E
Oh love, oh love you fickle thing 
      A      E         B      E
Such pretty words and golden rings 
         C#m                 B        E
It was a broken dream right from the start
 A           E         B        E
Bless their tortured, tangled hearts


 G    A         E
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
 G         A         E
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

Instrumental: E7   then  G  A  E (x4)


E7
Well a blast of confusion coupled with delusion
E                                 D  A  E
Makes the best made plans sometimes fail
E7
They wined and they dined had peace of mind, she bought a gown and he rented tails
         A               E7            B                    E
But the mighty cloud of destiny came driftin' through the gates
    C#m    E        B          E
And busted up what could have been 
   G       A        E
A perfect hopeless case


CHORUS (twice)


 G    A         E
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
 G         A         E
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
 G    A         E
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
 G         A         E
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
