When I was a girl, I fell into your arms

We fell on hard times and we lost our bright color

You stole and you gambled and I said you should

Then, one day, you left, sayin' I was no good

Alright, I'm bad, but then that's nothin' new

You say you won't love me, I won't love you neither

I Am the one who knows how you were brave

And I Am the one who heard what you said sleepin'

It's sooner than later that I'm six feet under
        F         C          F          G
It's sooner than later that you'll be alone
    F            C         F         G
So who will you turn to tomorrow? I wonder
     Fm             C             G             F
For when the bell rings, lover, you're on your own

I know the soul that you struggle to save
     F           C            F           G
Too bad I'm the bet that you lost in the reapin'

Now, what will you Do when I Go to my grave?
