Em                    C                D
I was waiting in the back-seat of the car
                      Em
When I knew I'd given up
             C                   D
Down on the back-streets by the park
                          G
So sick of the taste of blood
            F                Em
I'm gonna write your girl a letter
G      F               Em
It'll make everything better

Screaming down the phoneline to your mum
She said honey ain't home right now
I bought a tuxedo and I bought a gun
And wore them all around this town
Nobody dares to lift a finger
They can see my heart is down and injured

Chorus:
E       C             D
If I'm guilty of anything
      Am             E
It's loving you too much
        C         D
Honey, sometimes love
       Am                G
Means getting a litte rough
Bm       E          G
This is not bad love
Bm       E
This is not bad love

I've been going to church
But I don't believe
I'll ever be clear this pain
Walk like a ghost through the streets
Soaked from the pouring rain
And I won't ask your God for mercy
My spirits are low, my soul is dirty

Chorus - x3
