CAPO 4


INTRO: Em  D  Em  D Dsus D

VERSE:

             Em                          
He says it's none of my damn business 
 D 
How much he drinks
      Em
And he doesn't have a problem 
         D
No matter what the whole town thinks
       Bm   
At his baby's birthday party 
          E7
There was whiskey on his breath
   G               
Everybody wants to save him
    Asus           A
But he's not ready yet


CHORUS:

            D                A
You wanna scream, you wanna cry
             G
You want someone to tell you why
         D                                 Asus  A
All the hope that's in your heart is not enough
              D                     A
You hit your knees, you shake your fists
             G
Oh, it's the deepest wound there is
         Em    Bm        G       Dsus  D
When you can't help the one you love

VERSE:

Her sister reads the bible
Her father sits an' snores
They're with her every minute 
'cause they may not have many more
She was dancin' in New Orleans 
Only seven weeks ago
Life may go on without her 
but not the life we know


CHORUS:


BRIDGE:
       A
When someone's slippin' away
 F      G          D
Right before your eyes
     E
How useless we are
       A        Asus A
Is a painful surprise

CHORUS:


TAG:
         Em    Bm        G       Em   D
When you can't help the one you love
