Verse 1:

Dm             F    C
   I need your confidence
Dm                     F  C
   Need to know you're miiine
Dm                    F           C       Dm   F C
   When it gets right down to the killing time

Verse 2:

Dm             F        C
   I know your heart is bad
Dm                   F    C
   But it's all I've ever had
Dm                 F             C         Dm    F C
   We can live our lives on this righteous crime

Verse 3:
Dm                   F     C
   I got kicked when I was down
Dm                      F       C
   And a sailor took my girl to town
Dm                    F               C         Dm   F C
   Then she licked my wounds with the sea dog's salt
Dm                  F         C
   I drank a half a bottle of Jack
Dm                   F        C
   I swore I'd never take you back
Dm                 F         C       Dm    F C
   By the bottle's end I was on that phone

Bridge:

Bb               C         Am       Dm

   How do you walk away?
         Dm                    F        C        Dm     F C
   Walk away from a woman that gone and done you wrong?
              Dm         F C
   How do you walk away?

   How do you walk away?
         Dm                    F        C        Dm

   She had done you wrong

Outro:

   N.C.
   I need your confidence
   N.C.
   Need to know you're mine
   N.C.
   When it gets right down to the killing time



The only bit I'm not sure about is the second line in the bridge. If anyone can clarify that, it'd be greatly
appreciated

If it helps, I prefer to play the song with the capo on 5, using the following chord shapes and riff:

Am C G F

e|----------------------------|
B|------1p0-------------------|
G|----------2-0---------------|
D|---------------2----0-------|
A|--0-0------------3-----2----|
E|-------------------------3--|

Have fun!
