can't take the pain Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][F][G][F][G]

[Verse 1]
No, I didn't [G]see
this one comin'
It suddenly snuck up on me
[D]I can't [G]say you didn't tell me so
I can't say you didn't warn me

[Verse 2]
Well I can't take [C]the pain,
Knowing that [G]I left you
And I can't [D]bare [Em]the shame
Of knowing [D]I was [G]wrong
But I'll take [C]the blame for
everything that [G]I've done
But I can't [D]take [Em]the pain of
leaving you [C]alone

[Interlude 1]
leaving you alone
[G][F][G]

[Verse 3]
I was there when they [G]accused you
But I guess I was [F]too [G]afraid
Not just once, and not just twice
But three times I denied your name

[Verse 4]
Well I can't take [C]the pain,
Knowing that [G]I left you
And I can't [D]bare [Em]the shame
Of knowing [D]I was [G]wrong
But I'll take [C]the blame for
everything that [G]I've done
But I can't [D]take [Em]the pain of
leaving you [C]alone
leaving you [G]alone

[Verse 5]
[Em]I never thought I'd [D]get
[G]Even a second chance
But [Em]you've given that,
and so [D]much [G]more[D]
[Em]And then for every time [D]I ev[G]er did deny,
You [C]asked me if I love you
[D]You know I do, Lord

[Interlude 2]
[G][F][G][F][G]

[Verse 6]
So I'm off to follow in [G]your steps
It won't be easy, it's [F]safe [G]to say
Only two roads [F]I can walk
[G]on down
The one less traveled [F]is
[G]the one you paved

[Verse 7]
But I can't take [C]the pain,
Knowing that I [G]left you
And I can't [D]bare [Em]the shame
Of knowing I [D]was [G]wrong
But I'll take [C]the blame for
everything that [G]I've done
But I can't take [Em]the pain
of leaving you alone
leaving you [G]alone

[Verse 8]
Lord, you took the [C]pain
Even though [G]I left you
And you took the [Em]shame,
and you made it all your [G]own
Why'd you take [C]the blame for
everything that [G]I've done?
Lord, you took the [Em]pain,
you [C]and you [G]alone
You and you alone.
