Here is a story about a boy and a girl
She woke up one morning felt alone in this world
Despite the love for her, he couldn't keep her from leaving again
She had to do it.
She cried in a night
He brought her flowers in the daytime
She tried and she tried to forget the past and all her past crimes
Despite the love for her, he couldn't keep her from leaving again
She had to do it. (Bass line ends on F C F C)
CHORUS
Dm Am
How could you shoot a good man down?

Leave without mourning
Dm Am
Brokenhearted on the ground
G F
Like the others before him
Dm Am
A burden heavy as a rock

Dm Am
Go ahead and walk alone
G F
and regret it some elsewhere
Dm Am
He cried in a night

She got no flowers in the daytime
Dm Am
He gave up the fight

while she was out committing new crimes

Despite the love for her

She had to do it.
