[Intro]
C F G F x2


[Verse 1]
C                                                                      F
You were the sweetness of my life, my hopes and dreams, and you always were
F                                                    C
When they'd ask me who I'm living for, I'd smile and say "Her"
C                           F
Then he became a part of you, I just never was
D                              G
 I tried to pretend it doesn't hurt, but God, it does


[Chorus]
C                    F                         C
Candy apple red, the color of her lips where I used to kneel and pray
C                    F                      G
Candy apple red, the sun going down for the last time today
C                    F                     C
Candy apple red, the color of my life as I watch it slip away
F                G                             C     F G F
Candy apple red, someone please pray for me on Sunday


[Verse 2]
C                                                  F
I recall warm sunny days flying kites from a windy hill
F                                               C
If I could hold you just once more, but I never will
C                       F
 He became a part of you, I just never was
D                              G
 I tried to pretend it doesn't hurt, but God, it does, it does


[Chorus]
C                    F                         C
Candy apple red, the color of her lips where I used to kneel and pray
C                    F                      G
Candy apple red, the sun going down for the last time today
C                    F                     C
Candy apple red, the color of my life as I watch it slip away
F                G                             C
Candy apple red, someone please pray for me on Sunday


[Bridge]
  F                                             G
I can't turn back, things are turning black, my hand's gone numb
G              N.C.           A
Here it comes, here it comes. Here it comes, here it comes


[Chorus]
D                    G                         D
Candy apple red, the color of her lips where I used to kneel and pray
D                    G                      A
Candy apple red, the sun going down for the last time today
D                    G                     D
Candy apple red, the color of my life as I watch it slip away
G                A                             D
Candy apple red, someone please pray for me on Sunday


[Outro]
D#
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name
D#
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven
D#
Give us this day our daily bread, forgive us our trespasses

D#
