Capo 4
[Intro]
Em G C
Am
She barely knew your name
Em G C Am
[Verse 1]
Em
He was just a city, she's just a dirt road
C              Am
But that never meant a thing
Em
Running from the country
                    C            Am
She needed out but, he held that diamond ring
[Chorus]
       Em               G
'Cause I can't sit, oh, I can't talk
         C                   Am
I got to leave this town and run to you
Em                      G
Curse these nights that speak your name
          C                  Am
I got to leave this town and come to you
Em         G         C
Break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
Am
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Em         G         C
Break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
Am
She barely knew your name
[Instrumental]
Em G C Am
[Verse 2]
Em
He was such a worry
No need to hurry
C                 Am
Those streets are slick at night
Em
She would never listen
                    C                  Am
She left it all and headed towards the light
Em                G
Oh your eyes look tired
    C                Am
But love was all she knew
Em               G
Screaming out in agony
    C                  G
She gave her life for you
[Chorus x2]
       Em               G
'Cause I can't sit, oh, I can't talk
         C                   Am
I got to leave this town and run to you
Em                      G
Curse these nights that speak your name
          C                  Am
I got to leave this town and come to you
Em         G         C
Break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
Am
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Em         G         C
Break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
Am
She barely knew your name
