INTRO: G    C  D  G


A cold night in the kitchen
       C                G
Saying things we both regret
    C                    G
And you scream, you were leaving
                          D
And you cursed the day we met


                   C        D        G
Then a sound rose above the slamming door
    ~      Em             C
And broken dishes thrown around the floor
                   G
So loud it made us stop
           Am    G/B  C   D
It was the sound of a teardrop___


CHORUS:
N.C.             C  G
When I heard her crying
                C       D      G
Thought she was tucked away in bed
  G/F#      Em      C
I heard her crying
                                D
Wish we could take back what we said
                       C    D        G
I didn't think she was old enough to know
G/F#        Em                 C
Oh lord, we must have hurt her so
                           G
When she begged you not to go
            D  G        D G
I heard her crying


N.C.  G
Well, I'd have given anything
    C        G
For time to erase
       C                 G
When I turned around and saw
                                 D
Those little tears roll down her face


             C      D        G
Oh, my heart nearly broke in two
     ~          Em         C
When she said, "Mommy what did I do
                      G
To make you and daddy mad
        Am           D
Oh, I'm sorry I was bad"


N.C.    G
Well, I looked at you and you looked at me
       C                 G
And we felt each other's shame
     C                G
Then kneeling down to hold our child
                     D
Said, she was not to blame

     C                    D  
"Now sometimes when we're angry
        G           ~      Em 
And say things that aren't true
    C                  G
But we still love each other 
    D             G
And baby, we love you"


CHORUS:
N.C.            C  G
And I heard her crying
                C       D      G
Thought she was tucked away in bed
      G/F#      Em      C
Oh, I heard her crying
                                D
Wish we could take back what we said
                       C    D        G
I didn't think she was old enough to know
G/F#        Em                 C
Oh lord, we must have hurt her so
                           G
When she begged you not to go
            D  G       D G
I heard her crying
