[Verse 1]
ACutest girl I ever saw, did I love her?
Then Dmwhy'd I go and do something so cAruel?
I mDmarried her on that summer day, did I lAove Dmher?
Well Ashe said 'yes' so she mEust have been a fAool.
AOn our honeymoon night, instead of making sweet love
I Dmsat her down and confessed my true histoAry.
I said, 'DmBaby, I love you and I hope you know you're a gAift from aDmbove,
But I kAilled twenty men and the dEevil's after Ame.
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, Eshe said that's okay, I don't care dear, cause I lDmove you anywAays.
Honey, a Eman's gotta do what a man's gotta do so be sDmtrong, and be bArave.
Well, I'll Cmtry, you know I'll Etry.
[Chorus]
And GAod said, 'It is gEood, and Dmman and woman sAhould,
Become Aone and be fEruitful. Well, we wDmould, if we cAould,
But we're rAunning from the lEaw and liDmving in a shAack,
And IA'm gonna burn in hEell for corDmrupting my better hAalf.
[Verse 2]
ACruisin' down the highway going 95.
We're Dmrobbing convenience stores and trying to stay Aalive.
I'm Dmsorry I killed that man back there, can you ever Aforgive Dmme,
For Abringing you into my life when EI should've let you Abe.
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, Eshe said that's okay, I don't care dear, cause I lDmove you anywAays.
Honey, a Eman's gotta do what a man's gotta do so be sDmtrong, and be bArave.
Well, I'll Cmtry, you know I'll Etry.
[Chorus]
And GAod said, 'It is gEood, and Dmman and woman sAhould,
Become Aone and be fEruitful. Well, we wDmould, if we cAould,
But we're rAunning from the lEaw and liDmving in a shAack,
And IA'm gonna burn in hEell for corDmrupting my better hAalf.
Then he does a little 'solo,' which is just playing through the verse chords once. If
lift your finger off the 2nd string in the A chord and the first string the Dm chord every
and a while it sounds sort of like what he does.
[Verse 3]
AWell, the cops found our hideout and they shot her.
Why'd Dmthey go and do something so cruel.A  
She Dmdied in my arms, I had to Aleave Dmher.
I'm Asorry my love for Ebeing such a Afool.
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, Eshe said that's okay, I don't care dear, cause I lDmove you anywAays.
Honey, a Eman's gotta do what a man's gotta do so be sDmtrong, and be bArave.
Well, I'll Cmtry, you know I'll Etry.
[Chorus]
And GAod said, 'It is gEood, and Dmman and woman sAhould
Become Aone and be fEruitful.' Well, I wDmould, if I coAuld.
But I'm runAning from the law Eand the Dmcops shot doAwn my shack.
And IA'm gonna burn in hEell for corDmrupting my better hAalf...
AI'm gonna burn in hEell for corDmrupting my better Ahalf...
AI'm gonna burn in hEell for kilDmling my better Ahalf.
