Hi there!  This is probably my favorite Dixie Chicks
song.  I think it's so good but sad too:(   Anyways, this version
is a bit easier to play than the others and some parts IDK!  I
really tried.  The Eb and Bb can't be avoided, I tried every other
easier chord and nothing sounded good.  I'm not even sure they sound
as perfect as they should 'cause I can't play them very well! lol!

Standard Tuning w/ Capo on 2
 
 
[Intro]
G C G C
 
 
[Verse 1]
G                      D
I can't find a reason, to let go
     Em                 C
Even though you found a new love
          Em                   C
And she's what your dreams are made of
G                    D
I can find a reason, to hang on
          Em              C
What went wrong can be forgiven
        Em                 C        G
Without you it ain't worth living, alone
 
 
[Chorus]
    D       C       G         C
Sometimes I wake up cryin' at night
        D       C               G
And sometimes I scream out your name
     D              C       G
What right does she have to take you away?
         Am      C        D
When for so long you were mine
 
 
[Verse 2]
  G                                D
I took out all the pictures of our wedding day
         Em               C
It was a time of love and laughter
Em         C
Happy ever after
    G                            D
But even those old pictures have begun to fade
       Em                C
Please tell me she's not real,
                Em            C           G
And that you're really coming home to stay
 
 
[Chorus]
    D       C       G         C
Sometimes I wake up cryin' at night
        D       C               G
And sometimes I scream out your name
     D              C       G
What right does she have to take your heart away?
         Am      C        D
When for so long you were mine
 
 
[Bridge]
F               C
 I can give you two good reasons
   Eb                  Bb
To show you love's not blind
     G             D             Em         C
He's two and she's four, and you know they adore you
   Am           G           C               D
So how can I tell them, you've changed your mind?
 
 
[Chorus]
    E       D         A       D
Sometimes I wake up cryin' at night
        E       D               A
And sometimes I scream out your name
     E              D       A
What right does she have to take your heart away?
         Bm     D       E
When for so long you were mine
    Bm          D*  E*   A   D   A   D*    E*  A*  (timing's tricky for the outro)
I remember when you were mine
