F G C I had everything in the palm of my hand F G C A lovin’ wife who made me feel like a man F G C Am She told me she’d love me till death do us part Am F G C She said that she meant it from the bottom of her heart I guess she didn’t know the bottom was so deep For now every night she cries herself to sleep She thinks that we married, much too young And now her love is gone and the heartache’s begun F G C I want my life back, back on the right track F G C The way it used to be when you were my girl F G C Am Lord I wish I could turn the page, back to those better days Am F G C Where you would always stay in my perfect world Steel Now every night I drink until I am stoned It’s just too hard to face my empty home Without her here my world’s at its end And what I wouldn’t give to have her back home again Chorus Tag: Where you would always stay in my perfect world
