In a vacant old park I watched from 
the dark
        F                     Fm
The old church was on fire, I buried
 my lighter
   C            E7         Am
So no one could tell I was runnin'
       F           Fm        C
God forgive me but he had it comin'

        C                       C7
She was barely fifteen, midwest town
 sleepy scene
      F                    
I was two grades above her, 
    Fm
completely in love with her
    C               E7         Am
One look from those eyes I was done 
in
       F           Fm        C   
God forgive me but he had it 
    C7
coming

       Dm             G
It was deadly crooked fangs
        C      E7          Am
When outside a church bell clangs
     F        C    G       Am
Well rise and fall curtain call
F      Dm                 G
Build around your heart a wall

Build around your heart a wall

        C                        
With my hand on her head, in her 
C7
hospital bed
        F                          
And the secret she kept that would 
Fm
lead to her death
          C         E7           
Well that fucker he took what he 
Am
wanted
      F             Fm           
And I promised he'd get what was 
C       C7
coming

         Dm           G
Well she never made a sound
        C          E7     Am
When he pushed her to the ground
     F        C    G       Am
Well rise and fall curtain call
F      Dm                 G
Build around your heart a wall
   F         C          G         
Of brick and stone both thick and

  C                              
I tried to keep breathing as the 
C7
last car was leaving
      F                       
Drank myself courageous, crept 
 Fm
behind the stage
           C          E7          
Toward the target for which I was 
Am
gunnin'
       F           Fm        C   
God forgive me but he had it 
    C7
coming
