The Greatest Whole

ake a good look at your reflection ask the mirror one last thing Bm can you see how much affection to her table did you bring does she live walkin on eggshells and praying for some rain to dance upon this world of hurt and wash away her pain D does she save you from yourself are you your own ball of shame Bm do you give her all your wealth or just fan your fiery flames Am will you walk thru this life C holding on to her hand G or is she the cane that holds you up F while you fail to understand Em G cuz your only as good as the woman you love (x2) from the wife that receives you whose breathe breathes into you to the mistress who deceives you ruins lives and destroys you now look into that mirror and stare into yourself can you stand there without flinching or must you look at something else now the hurt that you gave others comes back twice fold and the words will wring inside you as the worlds around you burn chorus: G from the mother that holds you F that nurses and scolds you C to the lover that bathes you G and wants to invade you G i'll tell you one thing F if this life starts to sting C and the world stops to sing G cuz you ain't learned a thing Em G you're only as good as the woman you love x2 CHORUS (played like VERS #2) you said you gave her your youth in return she gave you her life who broke her back nursing four while you called her a cheatin wife the rain washed away the footsteps that lead her to that door that housed the whore that stole your love who'll beg forever more for mercy and forgiveness float down stream hand in hand you no good dirty rotten scoundrel of a man from the wife that receives you whose breathe breathes into you to the mistress who deceives you ruins lives and destroys you now look into that mirror and stare into yourself can you stand there without flinching or must you look at something else chorus: G from the mother that holds you F that nurses and scolds you C to the lover that bathes you G and wants to invade you G i'll tell you one thing F if this life starts to sting C and the world stops to sing G cuz you ain't learned a thing Em G you're only as good as the woman you love x2 Em G cuz your only as good as the woman you love
