I married Charlie when I was sixteen

Said women don't need romance magazines
 C                        G    Am
But I showed him with his last coffee
     F                              G       C
And now they can do anything they like with me

I'll be fine in here

And my conscience is clear

       C                               G    Am
Didn't do it for the money, in truth I was bored
   F                 G   C
Nobody writes to me anymore
    C             G    Am
Cigarettes and prison walls
    F                        G       C
Will keep me company till I meet the Lord

And Lord knows that


Chorus:
    Am  G   C
And oh, oh, oh
   F               G      C
I haven't been a perfect wife
