Am7Am7 D6D6 C7C7 Asus4Asus4
I kissed you cause I've never been an angel
Am7Am7 D6D6 C7C7 Asus4Asus4
I learned to say hosannas on my knees
Am7Am7 D6D6 C7C7 Asus4Asus4
But they threw me out of Sunday school when I was nine
A minorAm 
E MajorE A minorAm
And the sisters said I did just as I pleased

Am7Am7 D6D6 C7C7 Asus4Asus4
Even so I try to be a good girl
Am7Am7 D6D6 C7C7 Asus4Asus4
It's only what I want that makes me weak
Am7Am7 D6D6 C7C7 Asus4Asus4
I had no desire to be a child of sin
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm
Then you went and pressed your whiskers to my cheek

Now I tried drinking rye and gamblin'
Am7Am7 D6D6 C7C7 Asus4Asus4
Dancing with damnation is a ball
Am7Am7 D6D6 C7C7 Asus4Asus4
But of all the little ways I've found to hurt myself
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm
Well you might be my favorite one of all

Why can't I go and live the life of Riley?
Am7Am7 D6D6 C7C7 Asus4Asus4
Why can't I go back home to apple pie?
Am7Am7 D6D6 C7C7 Asus4Asus4
Cause your affront to my virtue was a touch too much
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm
But you left a little twinkle in my eye

Now some will come confessing of transgressions
Am7Am7 D6D6 C7C7 Asus4Asus4
Some will come confessing of their love

You were trying to tell me something with your thumb
