G6                Fmaj7
oh the strain on her heart
G6                   Fmaj7
she believed a lying blackheart
G6               Fmaj7
painted with promises
Am
then he left her on the floor
G
with only the mirror to curse
Am             G
should have known better
Am                G
should have known better
Am                G
should have known    oh   oh
F
and how she cried  how she cried
G
how she cried how she cried

etc.

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Julian Average	#1 by Julian . at Oct 1, 1989 at 7:51 AM EST
	I love Toad as a band, and I need to hear more of their songs. However, I'm not understanding this motif of violent anti-male subject matter in a number of their songs. It almost seems as if they hold the stereotypical societal belief that a majority of men are trash and have no social redeeming value; and that women are Christocentric, omniscient, perfect souls who are simply at the mercy of men, and are held back in every way because of it.

	It;s abour a relationship gome bad. He;s never there for her, nibidy is. She;s very lonely. Cinstanly hoping things will get better "some day" bvut they never do. She just keeps waiting for something to happen but he doesnt even act like he cares about her. And she seems to blame herself.
