C
This ain’t no way to be livin’, baby
F C
Stuck here in this little 8 by 10
C
And every time I close my eyes
F C
I can’t help but seeing you with him
C
I guess the lust I saw in your eyes
C7 F Fm
Drove me to a place I’d never been
C
With 40 years and no chance for parole
G C
I knew I’d end up paying for your sins
D
Finding that little rundown motel
G D
Where you met wasn’t very hard at all
D G
It wasn’t near as hard as seeing you and him
D
Pressed against the wall
D
Then every sane thought I had ever thought
D7 G Gm
Went rushing from my jealous mind
D
I guess I found a way to keep you, honey
A D
But I end up paying with my life
E
The sad part is this didn’t have to happen
A E
But you couldn’t help being so crass
E
You should have never, ever cheated
A E
On a man who was there to kiss your ass
E
And I guess no one on the jury
E7 A Am
Ever had someone who tore their world apart
E
Don’t know why they call this justice
B7 E
Cause it sure as hell don’t heal my broken heart
