Whispered To Myself

       Am
In the dirty streets of Laredo
  G                Am
I saw you standing there
         C               Dm             Am
With the moonlight shining on your cold black hair
         Am
With the darkness all around me
      G               Am
I had trouble finding words
     C            Dm               Am
So I whispered to myself and prayed you'd heard
       Am
Well you must have been an angel
      G              Am
Who'd fallen from the skies
           C
'Cause you turned to me
          Dm          Am
And I saw heaven in your eyes
G Am G Am

         Am
You were promised to another
      G              Am
Who'd wed your heart one day
       C
So you woke one night
           Dm             Am
And softly slit that fate away
       Am
When I found you in the crisp dawn of morning
     G               Am
With blood stains on your clothes
          C
With your hands as tools
       Dm                Am
It was me your heart had chose
       Am
And we went to seek your forgiveness
          G                 Am
Where the red sand turns to clay
       C
And we asked the lord
   Dm             Am
To wash your sins away
G Am G Am

       Am
Then I lost your love forever
          G               Am
Where the river meets the land
         C                    Dm             Am
When the swiftness swept your life out of my hands
      Am
And I swear that I could hear laughter
       G                 Am
As the heavens shook and cracked
      C                      Dm
And I cursed the god who, in envy
         Am
Took you back
       Am
And my heart, it raged like the river
       G                   Am
And my tears fell like the rain
      C                      Dm
And I found myself, alone in darkness
     Am
Once again
