Jean Shepard - For The Childrens Sake Chords

G                                     G7                   C
Dear God give me the strength to hide my feelings from our kids

  D7                                   G
I pray they'll never know how my heart aches

                            G7                   C
Their daddy doesn't love me and I guess he never did

   D7                                 G
He only stays here for the children's sake


                             G7                    C
If it was just the two of us I'd take my pride and go

    D7                                  G
But what a world of difference kids can make

                                 G7                        C
For they need both a mom and dad we'd break their hearts I know

   D7                                G
So heaven help us for the children's sake


                             G7                     C
I love him and I always will he's sweet and kind to me

    D7                               G
But Lord it's almost more than I can take

                                  G7                  C
Tonight I'll meet him at the door he'll kiss me tenderly

    D7                                     G
And I'll know it's only for the children's sake


                             G7                    C
If it was just the two of us I'd take my pride and go

    D7                                  G
But what a world of difference kids can make

                                 G7                        C
For they need both a mom and dad we'd break their hearts I know

   D7                                G
So heaven help us for the children's sake
