Lyrics
BEHIND THE LONELY DOOR
(Capo 4)
VERSE 1
D A G A D
You told me that you'd love me forever. But forever didn't last very long.
G D A7 G
You promised me we'd always be together. How could what was so right
D
turn out wrong.
CHORUS
G D A
Why don't people stay together like they did before. And why doesn't a
G D A
promise mean anything anymore. Broken hearts and shattered dreams are
D A G
what's left in the wake. Endless sleepless nights and a mountain of
D G D A
heartache. Lives are left in pieces laying on the floor. When someone
G A D
leaves another behind the lonely door.
VERSE 2
D A G
You've made up your mind. There's nothing I can say so I'll just stand here
A D G D
and watch you walk away. If he's broken up our home he's probably done
A7 G A
it before. And next time you might be the one behind that lonely door.
REPEAT CHORUS
A G A D
It's hard to see your life laying in ruin behind the lonely door.
