G                        C                         G 
In my troubled sleep my hands reach out to touch you 
                                            D7                    G 
But you're no longer there to greet my hungry hands 
                                C                   G 
Then I wake up and I cry out in the darkness 
                                                D7                      G 
And wonder how much more of this my heart can stand 
G7                    C                   D7 
    A man can stand so much hurting 
                  G 
I've stood a lot that's for certain 
             C                                                 D7 
But without your love I'm bound to lose my mind 
                    G 
I've cried so much I hurt all over 
                    C 
And breakin forty's gettin closer 
                G               D7                    G 
There's a limit and I've almost reached mine 
 
Once I had my pride and called myself a strong man 
 
But my strength and pride walked out the door with you 
 
Now this awful aching hurt keeps tearing at me 
 
It's killing me to think of you with someone new
