Em                          G 
We weren't afraid of nothing, wasn't nothing we couldn't do 
Am                                             D     
She held her breath once for seven minutes and never turned blue 
Em                          G 
She could burn a woman down if she felt she'd been unkind 
Am                                        D 
Or if she thought she was coming on to me, it drove her out of her mind 

C            D              C              D                 Em 
Oh yeah, it's true just did what we did whenever we wanted to 
            D              C                D 
Yeah, it's true, we just did what we did whenever we wanted to 

Em Am Em Am 

Em                         G 
She was my very best friend, my biggest enemy 
Am                                            D 
On judgement day we could go either it was all the same you see 
Em                         G 
She was not afraid of Satan, in fact she thought he was a joke 
Am                                           D 
Said she'd tear off his tail and run her fist down his throat 

C            D              C              D                 Em 
Oh yeah, it's true just did what we did whenever we wanted to 
            D              C                D 
Yeah, it's true, we just did what we did whenever we wanted to 

Em                         G 
She was the apple of temptation, the apple of my eye 
Am                          D 
Used to rest on a bed of burning coats every single night 
Em                         G 
And I know she's out there somewhere, she's wrestling in the bones 
Am                               D 
With confetti in her hair and you can bet she's not alone 

C            D              C              D                Em 
Oh yeah, it's true just did what we did whenever we wanted to 
            D              C                D                  Em 
Yeah, it's true, we just did what we did whenever we wanted to
