Corrupting My Better Half

A
Cutest girl I ever saw, did I love 
her?
     Dm                            
Then why'd I go and do something so
  A
 cruel?
   Dm                            
I married her on that summer day, 
        A   Dm
did I love her?
     A                      E     
Well she said 'yes' so she must 
           A
have been a fool.

A
On our honeymoon night, instead of 
making sweet love
  Dm                               
I sat her down and confessed my 
       A
true history.
         Dm                        
I said, 'Baby, I love you and I 
                     A         Dm
hope you know you're a gift from 
above,
       A                       
But I killed twenty men and the 
  E            A
devil's after me.


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


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

[Verse 2]
A
Cruisin' down the highway going 95.
      Dm                           
We're robbing convenience stores 
                 A
and trying to stay alive.
    Dm                          
I'm sorry I killed that man back 
                     A      Dm
there, can you ever forgive me,
    A                              
For bringing you into my life when 
E                   A
I should've let you be.

[Pre-Chorus]
      E                            
Well, she said that's okay, I don't
                     Dm     
 care dear, cause I love you 
     A
anyways.
         E                         
Honey, a man's gotta do what a 
                  Dm             A

brave.
           Cm                 E
Well, I'll try, you know I'll try.

[Chorus]

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

corrupting my better half.


Then he does a little 'solo,' which 
is just playing through the verse 
chords once. If
lift your finger off the 2nd string 
in the A chord and the first string 
the Dm chord every
and a while it sounds sort of like 
what he does.


[Verse 3]
A
Well, the cops found our hideout and
 they shot her.
      Dm                         
Why'd they go and do something so 
       A
cruel.
    Dm                        A   
She died in my arms, I had to 
  Dm
leave her.
    A                 E            
I'm sorry my love for being such a 
A
fool.


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

[Chorus]
     A                E        Dm
And God said, 'It is good, and 
             A
man and woman should
       A           E              
Become one and be fruitful.' Well,
    Dm           A
 I would, if I could.
           A                E     
But I'm running from the law and 
   Dm          A
the cops shot down my shack.
     A                 E     
And I'm gonna burn in hell for 
     Dm                 A
corrupting my better half...
A                  E    
I'm gonna burn in hell for 
      Dm                A
corrupting my better half...
A                  E          Dm
I'm gonna burn in hell for 
             A
killing my better half.
