Intro: G  Gadd9  G  Gadd9
            G                            C    
Somehow the fair-haired boy has lost his place 
                 Am                        D
Stepped from the golden light, fallen from grace 
          G                    C    
Scattered promises like broken glass 
           Am                     D
Turned his heart away from all he has
Chorus:
        C                     D
And you can't believe and you can't explain 
      G                      C    
How a heart can beat and the world can change 
         Am             D
And it's left you wondering 
             C            D            G
If there's a right way to do the wrong thing
             G                           C    
New love's a warm surprise to a sleeping heart 
           Am                                  D
We tell ourselves the old was wanting from the start 
             G                                  C    
Hot tears in children's eyes, for the nights he calls 
          Am                        D
Photos of in-law aunts down off the walls
Chorus:
        C                     D
And you can't believe and you can't explain 
      G                      C    
How a heart can beat and the world can change 
         Am             D
And it's left you wondering 
             C            D            G
If there's a right way to do the wrong thing
Bridge:
Am              C    
Running now, he can't come clean 
    G              D
And she can't understand what's changing 
Am                  C    
This charade leaves her unknowing 
G              D                   C  D
Everyday these cracks keep growing deeper
Instrumental: Am  C  G  D   (2x)
                  G                       C    
Church scenes and blue bouquets, trailing gowns 
          Am                                 D
Don't foresee the ways the world can wear us down 
            G                        C    
We swear forever, with a sentimental heart 
                      Am                        D
What god has joined together, now mostly falls apart
Chorus:
        C                     D
And you can't believe and you can't explain 
      G                      C    
How a heart can beat and the world can change 
         Am             D
And it's left you wondering 
             C            D            G
If there's a right way to do the wrong thing
         Am             D
And it's left you wondering 
             C            D            G
If there's a right way to do the wrong thing
