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_.]

[intro]

I can see you turn away when I ask what for

You say it isn't anything, but I'm not sure

Something underneath the skin won't let you be

And you try to keep it in, but I can see

The wo - man be - fore 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 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

If there are sorrows that bring back a tear

Don't let them keep us apart

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

The woman before me and you
