[Verse 1]
G C
This man I married is buried deep
G D
And the more I try to wake him, the more he sleeps
G C
I used to think I knew this man
Em D G
The tenderness, not the back of his hand
[Verse 2]
G C
It's been two weeks since he last had a drink
G D
But the time bombs ticking, I can never sleep
G C
It would be easier if he did
EM D G
Why do you stay here, stay with him?
[CHORUS]
G C
Why do you do it?
G C
Why do you treat us bad?
G C
When you've got two kids that love you
G C C/B
And a wife that's missing you bad
Am G
I've got to go now
Em D G G/F#
I've got to say good-bye
Em G
Don't try to stop us now
C D
And please don't you cry
C G
Can't you see. we've all been through it
C G
It's all been said before
C
With all these fears
G C
For how many years can I keep coming
D
Back for more
G
No more
[Verse 3]
G C
Must be addicted to all this pain
G D
Cause I keep coming back for the shame
G C
Dear God give me the strength to leave
Em D G
I've got to keep going, keep going this time
[CHORUS]
