1.I woke up this morning
                                      C
  And prayed to God, oh let it be a dream
       D
  Her side of the bed was cold
                                      G
  And layin' there beside me was her ring
  With a note that she had left for me
                                    C
  Layin' where she used to lay her head
         D 
  And I felt the world fall in on me
                        G
  For this is what she said

              C                    G
C.Tied to a stone ain't no way to live
              D               G
  I can't go on livin' like this
                 C                      G
  I'd rather be lonely and face life alone
                      C              D
  Than to go on this way, day after day
              G
  Tied to a stone

2.I always thought I gave her
  Everything that any girl could want
  The diamonds on her fingers
  A new car and a big two-story home
  Home became a prison
  And lookin' back now I can see it all
  Oh, I'd give the world if I could change the things
  That made her climb that wall
