THE WOMAN BEFORE ME
(by Jude Johnstone; sung by Trisha Yearwood)
--------------------------------------------
[Actually in D; capo 2.]
[Each chord is half a measure, except chords joined by a hyphen
(e.g., "Bm - A") are half a measure _total_.]
G Am - G C C
[intro]
F F G C - G
I can see you turn away when I ask what for
F F G C - G
You say it isn't anything, but I'm not sure
F F G C - G
Something underneath the skin won't let you be
F F G - F C
And you try to keep it in, but I can see
G - Am - G/B - C C F C
The wo - man be - fore me must have been hard on you
F C G G
'Cause that hurt in your eyes, I never put you through
G - Am - G/B - C C F C
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
G Am - G C C
The woman before me and you
Sometimes in an argument, it will show
When you go a little farther than you meant to go
I know you don't mean the things that you say
I just wanna ease the pain that's in your way
But the woman before me must have been hard on you
'Cause that hurt in your eyes, I never put you through
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
The woman before me and you
Am G - F C F
If there are sorrows that bring back a tear
Am G - F C C
Don't let them keep us apart
Am G - F C F
You oughta know you've got nothing to fear
Am G G
Here in my heart
'Cause you and I will never be like the past
Whatever kind of memories that you have
Nothing's gonna hurt me how, can't you see
I already made it a vow that I can keep
But the woman before me must have been hard on you
'Cause that hurt in your eyes, I never put you through
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
The woman before me and you
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
G Am - G C - G7sus C.
The woman before me and you
