Standard (EADGBE)

 I got trampled by my woman

 I been cheated and double-crossed

 There was a coup in the alter

 I had a friend but he got lost

Chorus

 They say time can take the pain away

 Because time changes everything

 But time forgot to change my heart

 Yes time forgot to change my heart

 He took my woman into the country

 And they had a baby girl

 And she grew to look just like me

 It’s a mean and wicked world

 So I took a train into that country

 And I found their little shack

 I went to drink until the sunset

 And in the darkness I came back

Chorus

 They say time can take the pain away

 Because time changes everything

 But time forgot to change my heart

 Yes time forgot to change my heart

 Outside their window I was creeping

 Wicked thoughts they filled my mind

 And as my old friends lay there sleeping

 I snuck in from behind

 I knelt down by my baby’s bedside

 And I grazed her lily face

 Please listen to your mother dear

 For your father is a disgrace

Chorus

 She said time can take the pain away

 Because time changes everything

 But time forgot to change my heart

 Yes time forgot to change my heart
