Intro - A 
 

(verse 1) 
A 
She was all alone at half past four, 
A 
At an all night small town convenience store, 
Bm                                       A  
When he walked in and locked the door behind him , 
 
(verse 2) 
A 
She ducked down behind the counter, 
A 
He said get up I know you're down there, 
Bm                                    A 
And I've got a gun just hold on I'll find it, 
 
(bridge) 
     D                    E             A     E      F#m 
He fumbled through the pockets of his faded denim jacket, 
 D            E              A           E    F#m           E    A  E   
Handed her a note and said You'd better do exactly what it says,  
E 
And she read, 
 
(chorus) 
 A                       Bm 
Nobody love nobody gets hurt,   
       D                    E 
She looked at him with a nervous grin, 
A 
And she pointed to that word,   
         D            E 
He said what the hell I can't spell,  
     A         E     F#m 
but you know what I meant, 
               E              D     E         A 
And she said yeah, but that ain't what you said, 
 
(verse 2) 
A 
She said I don't think you want to do this, 
A 
Sounds to me like there's more to it, 
Bm                                       A 
He said Spare your views on my abusive childhood, 
 
(verse 3) 
A 
Cause the last time I saw my old man, 
A 
Was in a photograph in our garbage can, 
Bm                                    A 
He never gave a damn so tell why I should, 
 
(bridge) 
     D                   E              A      E      F#m             
And you don't know the half of all the demons that I battle, 
     D                E                 A        E   F#m   
And you ain't gonna save me with your mindless psycobabble 
              E 
I'm damaged goods, 
 
(chorus) 
A                             Bm 
Nobody love  and nobody gets hurt, 
             D                         E 
And as he walked away in the pouring rain, 
A 
She still could hear that word, 
          D           E   
He said what the hell I can't spell,  
     A        E      F#m 
But you know what I meant, 
              E              D      E       A 
And she said yeah, but that ain't what you said, 
              E              D    E        A    
And she said yeah but that ain't what you said,
