Dm  Am  E
[Verse]
I'm sorry dDmarlin', but I will not Amlet you in
I have Dmseen this before, and I'm still Amcovered in
But I Dmtook his tremblin' hands, I Amled them to my skin
They tEwisted around my heart, and Amlet the dark light in
Dm  Am  E  Am
So he Dmcame to me one night, to tell me Amhe's not alone
He's Dmcarrying a girl, and I Amleft him on his own
She Dmopened up his skin, she Amlives inside his heart
And he is Escratching, begging, Amfor her to part
[Chorus]
Oh my Fdarlin', you, you are Amnot what I need
I pray to Fmother, my god I'm Cdown on my Amknees
DmPlease my love, Amplease my open heart
EPlease take forgiveness mother, AmI play the devils part
Dm  Am  E  Am
[Verse]
So he Dmshot his words like arrows, but they Amhit me as we stung
He Dmled me out of town, to tell me AmI will die alone
Dm'cause in my years of twenty-five, I Amgave a fool my heart
EPlease take forgiveness mother, he Amplayed the devils heart
[Chorus]
Oh Fmy darlin', you, you Amare not what I need
I pray to Fmother, my god I'm Cdown on my Amknees
DmPlease my love, Amplease my open heart
EPlease take forgiveness mother, AmI played the devils part
