*Note: I don't know proper notation for measures/timing, but each |chord| is a 4-4 measure,
so the first F/C and C of the intro/chorus/instrumental are 8 counts each in total.

(Verse 1)
Am
Lookin' back well I see you
F/C
With eyes that shouldn't be so blue
C G
Clearer than the calm before the rain
Am
So alive it wasn't fair
F/C
To live without a single care
C G
I loved you and you felt for me the same
Dm7 F/C
So beautiful that words could not define
Dm7 G
Sweeter than the Lord's communion wine
(Chorus)
F/C C
Evangeline can't you see I'm sorry
F/C G
Can't you hear my tears ringin' through the night
C C/B Am F/C
I wait in hell between these bed sheets
C G C
And pray to God for morning light
(Instrumental)
| F/C | F/C | C | C | F/C | F/C | G | G | C | C/B | Am | F/C | C | G | C |
(Verse 2)
Am
And winter came and blood ran cold
F/C
as ever present sleet and snow
C G
Outside of a December window pane
Am
This house would never be our home
F/C
Hand in hand we walk alone
C G
I thought the sun would never shine again
Dm7 F/C
And the oldest violin could never whine
Dm7 G
A melody as sorrowful as mine
(Chorus)
F/C C
Evangeline can't you see I'm sorry
F/C G
Can't you hear my tears ringin' through the night
C C/B Am F/C
I wait in hell between these bed sheets
C G C
And pray to God for morning light
(Instrumental)
| F/C | F/C | C | C | F/C | F/C | G | G | C | C/B | Am | F/C | C | G | C |
(Verse 3)
Am
Now I've seen your face a thousand times
F/C
And nightmares runnin' through my mind
C G
It hurts, just to pretend
Am
But the devil fell and so have I
F/C
From perfect grace you faced the sky
C G
Never thought a love like this would end
Dm7 F/C
Now your words they cut right through me like a knife
Dm7 G
I gave my love and now I take my life
(Chorus)
F/C C
Evangeline can't you see I'm sorry
F/C G
Can't you hear my tears ringin through the night
C C/B Am F/C
I wait in hell between these bed sheets
C G C
And pray to God for morning light
C C/B Am F/C
I wait in hell between these bed sheets
C G C
And pray to God for morning light
