[Verse 1]
AHey there, Father
AI don’t wanna bother you
ABut I’ve got a sin to confess
AI’m just 16 if you know what I mean
ADo you mind if I take off my dress?
BDon’t know where to start
BLet me get to the good parts
BMight wanna cross up your legs
AI’ve got envy, I’ve got greed, anything that you need
AAnd I’m not above having to beg
FThere was this bCoy whEmo tore my hAmeart in two
FI had to lCay him Eeight feet undergrAound
[Chorus]
AAll I nGeed Dis someone to sFave me
Cause AI am gGoin’ dDownF  
AAnd what I nGeed Dis someone to sFave me
Cause AI am gGoin’ doFwn, all the way down
[Verse 2]
AWell, hey there, Father#
AThere is just one other thing
AI have a simple request
AI hear you know God could you give him a nod in my direction
AI would be in your debt
BPerhaps there is something that we could work out
BI noticed your breathing is starting to change
AWe could go in the back behind all these stacks of bibles
AAnd get out of this cage
FThere was this bCoy whEmo tore my hAmeart in two
FI had to lCay him Eeight feet undergrAound
[Chorus]
AAll I nGeed Dis someone to sFave me
Cause AI am gGoin’ dDownF  
AAnd what I nGeed Dis someone to sFave me
Cause AI am gGoin’ doFwn, all the way down
DmI didn’t wanna do it, Father
But I caught him with another Awoman in the bed I made him
ASo I put him in a grave
And nDmow there’s no one left around to get me off
When I want it to dArag
DmThe next day on the television they identified him
By the cAircumsicion that I made and now I’m on the run
But wait, why C#mdid I have to go and kill him
C#mWhen he was the best I’d ever F#mhad
[Chorus]
AAll I nGeed Dis someone to sFave me
Cause AI am gGoin’ dDownF  
AAnd what I nGeed Dis someone to sFave me
Cause AI am gGoin’ doFwn, all the way down
AI’m goin’ down
AAll the way down

[Verse 1]

Hey there, Father

I don’t wanna bother you

But I’ve got a sin to confess

I’m just 16 if you know what I mean

Do you mind if I take off my dress?

Don’t know where to start

Let me get to the good parts

Might wanna cross up your legs

I’ve got envy, I’ve got greed, anything that you need

And I’m not above having to beg

F C Em Am

There was this boy who tore my heart in two

F C E A

I had to lay him eight feet underground

[Chorus]

A G D F

All I need is someone to save me

A G D F

Cause I am goin’ down

A G D F

And what I need is someone to save me

A G F

Cause I am goin’ down, all the way down

[Verse 2]

Well, hey there, Father#

There is just one other thing

I have a simple request

I hear you know God could you give him a nod in my direction

I would be in your debt

Perhaps there is something that we could work out

I noticed your breathing is starting to change

We could go in the back behind all these stacks of bibles

And get out of this cage

F C Em Am

There was this boy who tore my heart in two

F C E A

I had to lay him eight feet underground

[Chorus]

A G D F

All I need is someone to save me

A G D F

Cause I am goin’ down

A G D F

And what I need is someone to save me

A G F

Cause I am goin’ down, all the way down

I didn’t wanna do it, Father

But I caught him with another woman in the bed I made him

So I put him in a grave

And now there’s no one left around to get me off

When I want it to drag

The next day on the television they identified him

By the circumsicion that I made and now I’m on the run

C#m

But wait, why did I have to go and kill him

C#m F#m

When he was the best I’d ever had

[Chorus]

A G D F

All I need is someone to save me

A G D F

Cause I am goin’ down

A G D F

And what I need is someone to save me

A G F

Cause I am goin’ down, all the way down

I’m goin’ down

All the way down
