Here is a story about a boy and a girl

She woke up one morning felt alone in this world 

Despite the love for her, he couldn't keep her from leaving again

She had to do it.


She cried in a night

He brought her flowers in the daytime

She tried and she tried to forget the past and all her past crimes

Despite the love for her, he couldn't keep her from leaving again

She had to do it. (Bass line ends on F C F C)

CHORUS

Dm                              Am
How could you shoot a good man down?
G                     F
Leave without mourning
Dm                   Am
Brokenhearted on the ground
G                      F
Like the others before him
Dm                  Am
A burden heavy as a rock
G                  F
ain't nobody gonna stop her
Dm                Am
Go ahead and walk alone
G                  F
and regret it some elsewhere




Dm                        Am
            He cried in a night
           G              C
She got no flowers in the daytime
Dm                      Am
         He gave up the fight 
      G                      C
while she was out committing new crimes
Dm                   Am
         Despite the love for her 
   G                      C        Dm  Am 
he couldn't keep her from leaving again
           G        F
She had to do it.

CHORUS

ENDING
Dm   Am
                          G                   F
How could you leave without mourning?
Dm   Am
                   G                   F
I'm like the others before me.
