The Woman Before Me

(by Jude Johnstone; sung by Trisha Yearwood)

[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

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

'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

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
