gm D#
In the glare of a neon sign
F gm
She laid her body down
gm F
A man walked in beside her
(F) gm
And laid his money down
He said don't try to scream now
But I want this one to hurt
And tonight my pretty one
I'm gonna get my money's worth
She said they never listened
She said they'd never understand
That I don't this for pleasure
I just do it cause I can
I swear I didn't want to
And I swear I didn't know
That things like this could happen
To a 17-year old
Chorus:
D# A# F gm
And I've bundled up all of these fears inside
D# A# F
And I've bottled up all of this pain
D# A# F gm
And no one and nothing, can take this away
D# A# F
But I won't let it happen again - never again
(First acoustic guitar playing riff, second one chords)
In the haze of a smoky room
He chokes that bottle down
It's been a month since her saw her face
Underneath the blood stained gown
He thinks about that little girl
And the one he has at home
And wonders what if that was my little girl
Walkin' down that road alone
Maybe I'm just crazy or the devil got inside
But either way my soul is gone, I'll end this all tonight
The one hand throws the whiskey, and the other throws the gun
As he cries out to the heavens
I am not my father's son
Chorus x2
