Ab           Db
The road I have traveled on
     Bb           Ab
Is paved with good intentions
     Ab              Db
It's littered with broken dreams
      Bb              Eb
That never quite came true

    Ab             Db
When all of my hopes were dying
   Bb          Ab      G
Her love kept me trying
   F           Bb
She does her best to hide
  Eb               Ab
The pain that she's been through


(Chorus)

     Db            C
When she cries at night
      Bb                     Ab
And she doesn't think that I can hear her
 Db           C
She tries to hide
     Bb              Eb
All the fear she feels inside
   Db          C
So I pray this time
    Bb                 Ab
I can be the man that she deserves
     Db            Eb
'Cos I die a little each time
    Ab           F
When she cries


(Verse 2)

  Ab              Db
She's always been there for me
   Bb           Ab
Whenever I've fallen
   Ab              Db
When nobody else believes
   Bb                Eb
She'll be there by my side

    Ab             Db
I don't know how she takes it
    Bb             Ab          G
Just once, I'd like to make it
   F             Bb
Then there'll be tears of joy
   Eb               Ab
That fill her lovin' eyes


(Chorus)

     Db            C
When she cries at night
      Bb                     Ab
And she doesn't think that I can hear her
 Db           C
She tries to hide
     Bb              Eb
All the fear she feels inside
   Db          C
So I pray this time
    Bb                 Ab
I can be the man that she deserves
     Db            Eb
'Cos I die a little each time
    Db         C  Bb  Ab Db  C  Bb  Eb
When she cries


  Db          C
So I pray this time
  Bb                 Ab
I can be the man that she deserves
  Db            Eb
'Cos I die a little each time
 Db         C  Bb  Ab Db  C  Bb  Eb
When she cries


  Db          C
So I pray this time
  Bb                 Ab
I can be the man that she deserves
  Db            Eb
'Cos I die a little each time
 Ab                    F
When she cries
