Intro:
C Dm Em Dm

Verse 1:

     C
Your Brother cornered me last night, at AJ's hanger

          Dm
He had the look in his eyes of a stranger

        Em
Then he reached for his blade, told me to say your name

      Dm
And everything went black

       C
I woke up with his knife, in my left hand

       Dm
He was staring at the ceiling like what I might've

             Em
I grabbed his wallet and your mother's ring

    Dm
And left out the back


Bridge:


          F
Then your father showed up, to my house

       G                  G#dim
With a car full of friends

         Am
I hopped 16 fences, crossed the river

          G
Trying to get away from them



       F
Then I made it to my brother's, stayed the night

         G               G#dim
And took a plane to Berlin

           Am
I spent the whole damn flight, staring out the window

    G
And writing to you on this napkin

Chorus:


          C
You can't beg forgiveness, from men like that

           Dm
No they've bent their hearts too far

          Em                         Dm
They dont understand, this thing of ours


Instrumental:

C  Dm Em Dm


Verse 2:

     C
When they found Johnny, I wasn't surprised

                Dm
They pulled him out of the river, tongue there between his eyes

           Em                                     Dm
But it was news to me, when they found his sister too.

    C                                 Dm
The RCMP started hanging around, they didn't say much but I heard it loud

    Em                               Dm
And now I know, that what I heard was true


 Bridge:

     F
Well some men think they're above the bible

G                                G#dim
Some men think they're above the law

Am                                         G
Some men just aren't born with anything to lose



           F
But baby if I die, then I'd be nothing,

         G                                 G#dim
and if I ain't anything then I ain't worth lovin

Am                                      G
Baby I'm afraid of death because I love you


Chorus:

               C
Oooohhhhhh the night I met you

                             Dm
I crossed my stars, you were driving your daddy's car

               Em                     Dm
They dont understand, this thing of ours



          C
You can't beg forgiveness, from men like that

        Dm
No they bent their hearts too far

               Em                   Dm
They dont understand, this thing of ours


Verse:

           C
When I was younger, I lived on the corner

        Dm
Above a general store, with my mother

    Em                                   Dm
Her boyfriend used to beat her black and blue

        C                                     Dm
I spent many a night, in my bedroom, thinking of him

And what I'd do

       Em                                               Dm
Till I met your brother, and he taught me that I didn't have to


Bridge:

            F
We took him out in the woods past highway 15

       G                                      G#dim
And we worked on his face till he couldn't be seen

             Am                                          G
We left him, naked, bloody, and shivering in the morning dew



    F
And my poor mother, who's sick in the head

     G                                G#dim
Your brother stood by me, next to her bed

       Am                                     G
And he told me that we killed him, because we had to


Chorus:

          C
You can't beg forgiveness, from men like that

           Dm
No they've bent their hearts too far

             Em                     Dm
They dont understand, this thing of ours



               C
Oooohhhhhh the night I met you, I crossed my stars

         Dm
You were driving your daddy's car

               Em                   Dm
They dont understand, this thing of ours


Outro:

              Em                    Dm
They dont understand, this thing of ours

              Em                    Dm
They dont understand, this thing of ours

              C    Dm   Em   Dm
This thing of ours

C Dm Em Dm
