From Your Knees(Keyboard chords)

	        INTRO 
 
He (C) tore down the work of 17 years 
Brick by brick and (G) stone by (C) stone 
No hammer was swingin', cause cheatin' and drinkin' 
Don't (G) need no help wreckin' a home 
Aww, but (C) when he came back to the dust and the rubble 
Of what he has once called his (F) life 
He dropped to his knees, in (C) sheer disbelief 
At the (G) total destruction in (C) sight 
 
There were (C) empty closests and (G) empty drawers 
And a (C) tear-stained note on the (F) kitchen floor 
And (C) burning memories, in the fire(G)place (G7) 
He (C) waited too late to (G) say he was wrong 
His (C) house was still standing, but his (F) home was gone 
Brother (C) you would (E) not be(Am)lieve (D) 
(F) What you can (G) see from your (C) knees 
 
Fiddle Solo 
 
(C) Right then and there, in an old sinner's prayer 
He told things he (G) kept in the (C) dark 
There was no use in lying, 'cause the man who was listenin' 
Could (G) see every room in his heart 
Well, he took (C) empty whiskey bottles, little black book and all 
To the fire she left on the (F) grate 
Sometimes a man will (C) change on his own 
(G) Sometimes - I tell you, it (C) takes 
 
(C) Empty closests and (G) empty drawers 
And a (C) tearful confession on the (F) kitchen floor 
And (C) burning memories, in the fire(G)place (G7) 
He (C) waited too late to (G) say he was wrong 
His (C) house was still standing, he'd (F) fight for his home 
Brother (C) you would (E) not be(Am)lieve (D) 
Brother (C) you would (E) not be(Am)lieve (Dsus) (D) 
(F) What you can (G) see from your (C) knees
