     C                 C7 
In a vacant old park I watched from the dark 
        F                     Fm 
The old church was on fire, I buried my lighter 
   C            E7         Am 
So no one could tell I was runnin' 
       F           Fm        C 
God forgive me but he had it comin' 

        C                       C7 
She was barely fifteen, midwest town sleepy scene 
      F                        Fm 
I was two grades above her, completely in love with her 
    C               E7         Am 
One look from those eyes I was done in 
       F           Fm        C       C7 
God forgive me but he had it coming 

       Dm             G 
It was deadly crooked fangs 
        C      E7          Am 
When outside a church bell clangs 
     F        C    G       Am 
Well rise and fall curtain call 
F      Dm                 G 
Build around your heart a wall 
   F         C          G         Am 
Of brick and stone both thick and tall 
F      C          G       C 
Build around your heart a wall 

        C                        C7 
With my hand on her head, in her hospital bed 
        F                          Fm 
And the secret she kept that would lead to her death 
          C         E7           Am 
Well that fucker he took what he wanted 
      F             Fm           C       C7 
And I promised he'd get what was coming 

         Dm           G 
Well she never made a sound 
        C          E7     Am 
When he pushed her to the ground 
     F        C    G       Am 
Well rise and fall curtain call 
F      Dm                 G 
Build around your heart a wall 
   F         C          G         Am 
Of brick and stone both thick and tall 
F      C          G       C 
Build around your heart a wall 

  C                              C7 
I tried to keep breathing as the last car was leaving 
      F                        Fm 
Drank myself courageous, crept behind the stage 
           C          E7          Am 
Toward the target for which I was gunnin' 
       F           Fm        C       C7 
God forgive me but he had it coming 

       Dm             G 
It was deadly crooked fangs 
        C      E7          Am 
When outside a church bell clangs 
     F        C    G       Am 
Well rise and fall curtain call 
F      Dm                 G 
Build around your heart a wall 
   F         C          G         Am 
Of brick and stone both thick and tall 
F      C          G       C 
Build around your heart a wall 
F      C          G       C 
Build around your heart a wall
