          D
Well I'd rather see you dead, little girl
        Bm
Than to be with another man
     D
You better keep your head, little girl
     Bm
Or I won't know where I am

Chorus:
                                     E
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Bm                     E
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Bm                      G
Catch you with another man
F#         Bm               D
That's the end'a little girl

D
Well you know that I'm a wicked guy
           Bm
And I was born with a jealous mind
    D
And I can't spend my whole life
                Bm
Trying just to make you toe the line

Chorus

 D
Let this be a sermon
       Bm
I mean everything I've said
 D
Baby, I'm determined
        Bm
And I'd rather see you dead

Chorus
