F                    C
Late night call from an old friend
    G                           Am
her voice it was shaking at the other end
F               C                G
Said, "I didn't know who else to call"
F                 C
I know he doesn't treat her right
    G                        Am
But she'll crawl back in the bed tonight
F         C                       G
Lie awake wonderin' what could've been



Am                       C
Oh, Anne Marie won't you please, please, please
G                        F
Tell me, now what has he done
Am                  C
Oh, Anne Marie, I'm beggin' you please
G             F                    C
Get out while theres still time to run



F                              C
Well he starts to yell when he starts to drink
       G                             Am
and he starts a lot of trouble never stops to think
F                C             G
About the damage that is being done
F                         C
But one night the bourbon flooded his veins 
       G                     Am
Like a raging black river of lust and pain
F                         C                 G
That'd be the last time that he'd raise his hand

F                                  C
She was shakin' like a rocket on a boulevard
        G                             Am
And her tears they were cold, but her eyes they were hard
F                 C                    G
She returned that angel to the bedside drawer
F                                C
Then she packed her bags and she moved away 
         G                             Am
You know he's the only reason that she ever stayed
F                   C             G
Now she's out there living on the road


Am                       C
Oh, Anne Marie won't you please, please, please
G                          F
Tell me, now what have you done
Am                  C
Oh, Anne Marie, I'm beggin' you please
G             F                    C
Get out while theres still time to run


F                            C
Well, my telephone, it don't ring no more
    G                         Am
and last I heard she's at the Jersey shore
F                C                 G
If I believed in God, I'd pray for you
F                    C        
But a prayer without belief 
          G            Am
is like a pill without relief
F                    C            G
So I'll just save us both the let down


Am                       C
Oh, Anne Marie won't you please, please, please
G                          F
Tell me, now what have you done
Am                  C
Oh, Anne Marie, I'm beggin' you please
G             F                    C
Get out while theres still time to run


G                F                      C
Please stay out, Please stay out on the run
