Corrupting My Better Half

A
Cutest girl I ever saw, did I love her?
     Dm                              A
Then why'd I go and do something so cruel?
   Dm                                    A   Dm
I married her on that summer day, did I love her?
     A                      E                A
Well she said 'yes' so she must have been a fool.
A
On our honeymoon night, instead of making sweet love
  Dm                                      A
I sat her down and confessed my true history.
         Dm                                             A         Dm
I said, 'Baby, I love you and I hope you know you're a gift from above,
       A                         E            A
But I killed twenty men and the devil's after me.

      E                                                 Dm          A
Well, she said that's okay, I don't care dear, cause I love you anyways.
         E                                           Dm             A
Honey, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do so be strong, and be brave.
           Cm                 E
Well, I'll try, you know I'll try.

     A                E        Dm             A
And God said, 'It is good, and man and woman should,
       A           E                  Dm           A
Become one and be fruitful. Well, we would, if we could,
           A                E        Dm          A
But we're running from the law and living in a shack,
     A                 E          Dm                 A
And I'm gonna burn in hell for corrupting my better half.

Cruisin' down the highway going 95.
      Dm                                            A
We're robbing convenience stores and trying to stay alive.
    Dm                                               A      Dm
I'm sorry I killed that man back there, can you ever forgive me,
    A                              E                   A
For bringing you into my life when I should've let you be.

      E                                                 Dm          A
Well, she said that's okay, I don't care dear, cause I love you anyways.
         E                                           Dm             A
Honey, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do so be strong, and be brave.
           Cm                 E
Well, I'll try, you know I'll try.

     A                E        Dm             A
And God said, 'It is good, and man and woman should,
       A           E                  Dm           A
Become one and be fruitful. Well, we would, if we could,
           A                E        Dm          A

Well, the cops found our hideout and they shot her.
      Dm                                A
Why'd they go and do something so cruel.
    Dm                        A     Dm
She died in my arms, I had to leave her.
    A                 E            A
I'm sorry my love for being such a fool.

      E                                                 Dm          A
