Let's begin where the story ends

I'll try to explain how I lost my friends

I didn't stop when I knew I should

I've got nothing now, it's gone for good

I guess they want me dead, a bounty on my head

verse 2
G
It all began in this prayed up town
Em7 G
(You were looking for a way out, love strapped you down)
G Am Em
I turned and ran as we were taking our vows
Em C G
It sure is hard to run in a wedding gown
G Em7
So I stole your car, and ran it through your heart
D C
And the radio was on, playing last year's song
G Em7
And if you're listening now, can I get through somehow?
D
You know I never did you wrong
C
That was last year's song
BRIDGE

I hope you'll make it in the end, I'm free now
G Em7
D C
No I'm not afraid now, no, no, no I'm not afraid now
G D/F# C
Yeah I'm on my way now and I got through somehow
G Em7
If you're listening now, I bet you hear that sound
D C
Of the preacher's raging on, banning last year's song

Are you listening now? Did I get through somehow?
D C C
When you're finally catching on, then I'm gone, like last year's song
