[Verse 1]
C
Down on this row there ain't much to
 do
    F                  C
So I close my eyes and dream about 
you
You and that guy I met once or twice
  G

It's okay honey, I hope he's 
Am                 G
treating you nice

[Verse 2]
       C                           
Things here ain't so bad, I've made
               F
 some friends
                         C
They make me laugh, but I can't 
pretend
When the night gets cold, and I get 
      G
blue
                        Am         G
Honey, I just wanna hold onto you

[Pre-Chorus]
   C                         F
Oh Theresa, Theresa my dear
                        C
I stand accused and I'm guilty I 
fear

We've lived our lives in a corner 
called Hell
        G                    Am   
And now you're out there and I'm 
             G
in this cell

[Chorus]
       C                    F
And if you can't be here by midnight
Continúa después del anuncio
                           C
If all of your connections fail
      Am             D
Say a prayer for me, finger your 
rosary
G
For I will have left this jail
  F                      C
I will see the cell door open
  F                     Am
I will hear the tolling bells
       C                    F
And if you can't be here by midnight
Em                   G           
Darling, I'm wishing, I am 
      C
wishing you well

[Verse 3]
     C                             
Everyday I recall how I got to this
        F
 place
                           C
I woke up one night with a gun in my
 face
                              G
I saw a badge and I saw blue
That kid couldn't have been more 
            Am   G
than twenty-two

[Verse 4]
  C                              
I heard you scream, I grabbed his 
      F
gun
                       C
You broke free and you started to 
run
In the back of the head, now it 
              G
wasn't clean
                     Am
Meanest thing I have ever seen

[Pre-Chorus]
   C                         F
Oh Theresa, Theresa my dear
                        C
I stand accused and I'm guilty, I 
fear

We've lived our lives in this corner
 called Hell
        G                    Am   
And now you're out there and I'm 
             G
in this cell

[Chorus]
       C                    F
And if you can't be here by midnight
                           C
If all of your connections fail
      Am             D
Say a prayer for me, finger your 
rosary
G
For I will have left this jail
  F                      C

  F                     Am
I will hear the tolling bells
       C                    F
And if you can't be here by midnight
Em                   G           
Darling, I'm wishing, I am 
      C    F  C
wishing you well
     G           C    F  C
I am wishing you well
     G           C    F  C  G
I am wishing you well
