Abuse
By: Don J. Welbourne
Intro: Am, C, G (X2)
C G
It was love at first sight when, she fir__st saw him
Am D
And a girl in love doesn’t wait very long
C G
Moved in and married before she knew him
Am C G
In less than a year she knew something, was wrong
G C
In the mirror is not the girl, she___ use to be
Am D
She still looks the same, inside she’s a wreck
G C
Hateful eyes at her is, all___ that she can see
Am C G
His words to her are worse than a rope, around her neck
Chorus
G C
You know, words can hurt more than__ any hit could
Am C G
And the bruises take a much longer time to heal
G C
Ice can always, take__ away the little pains
Am C G
But damage on the inside you always feel
Her friend for years is tired of, hear__ing her complain
The same old stuff, it’s a weekly routine
He tells her take my advice, or___ forget my name
You can’t keep breaking my heart, it’s just to mean
She showed up one last time at her, friends___ door today
With bags in hand, her old life ended with a seal
Without a word between them, he___ puts her bags away
And as he held her in his arms, she begins to heal
Chorus
G C
You know, words can hurt more than__ any hit could
Am C G
And the bruises take a much longer time to heal
G C
Ice can always, take__ away the little pains
Am C G
But damage on the inside you always feel
