C                                                         F
I woke up this morning and prayed to God oh let this be a dream
G7                                                              C
Her side of the bed was cold and laying there beside me was her ring
                                                                      F
With a note that she had left for me laying where she used to lay her head
      C                            G7                   C
And I felt the world fall in on me for this is what she said

          F                     C
Tied to a stone ain't no way to live  
           G7              C
I can't go on  living like this
              F                    C
I'd rather be lonely and face life alone
              G7                               C
Than to go on this way day after day tied to a stone

                                                           F
I always thought I gave her everything that any girl could want
G7                                                        C
The diamonds on her fingers a new car and a big two-story home
                                                              F
Oh but home became a prison and looking back now I can see it all
       C                                    G7
Oh I'd give the world if I could change the things 
                         C
That made her climb that wall

                   F                     C
She said tied to a stone ain't no way to live  
           G7              C
I can't go on  living like this
              F                    C
I'd rather be lonely and face life alone
              G7                               C
Than to go on this way day after day tied to a stone

F                    C
I'd rather be lonely and face life alone
              G7                               C
Than to go on this way day after day tied to a stone
