[Verse 1]
G
We gave it up
without
 C
much of a fight
 G
I wish that we
could say
 D
we tried our best
But now I'm
Em
packing up
what's left of
 C
my old life
 G
Go on and find
somebody
D
else to haul
 G
the rest
A little house on
cinderblock
 C
foundation
 G
Someone brought
in on a
 D
flatbed years ago
 Em
All that trouble
started
right after we
C
moved in
 G
It'd been brewing
for a
D G
while, we both know

[Chorus]
G
Behind every
C
good man
 G
There's a woman
 D
who's tired
She's keeping the
C
lights on and
G
putting out your
D
fires
 Em
And if that is all
 you wanted,
oh if anyone
 C
would do
And I hope you
G
find someone
 D G
as desperate as you



[Verse 2]
G
I wasn't taught
 to covet
 C
fancy things
If it ain't
G
borrowed then
you know it's
 D
secondhand
 Em
So I'll gladly
give you back
 C
my wedding rings
 G
Now could you get
me back
 D
the time I
 G
wish I had
And my mama
looks at me
like I've gone
C
crazy
 G
Oh my darlin'
this is just
 D
part of the deal
 Em
First you'll work
and clean
the house then
raise
 C
some babies
And don't you
G
leave that
 D
 man looking for
 G
his next meal


[Chorus]
G C
Behind every good
 man
 G
There's a woman
 D
who's tired
She's keeping the
C
lights on and
G
putting out your
D
fires
 Em
And if that is
 all
you wanted,
oh if anyone
 C
would do
 G
I hope you find
 someone as
D G
desperate as you


[Bridge]
 C
What do I do with
 all this
G D
love I have for you?
 C
When I know I'm
better
G
off now that
 D
we're through
 And when you
Em
helped me
move my things
I said
"I hope life treats
 C
you well"
 G
When we're handing
off the house keys
you said
 D
"You could rot
 G
in hell"

G C
Behind every good
man
 G
There's a woman
 D
who's tired
She's keeping the
C
lights on and
G
putting out your
D
fires
 Em
And if that
 is all
you wanted,
oh if anyone
 C
would do
 G
I hope you found
 someone
 D G
as desperate as you
