Intro - A
(verse 1)
A
She was all alone at half past four,
A
At an all night small town convenience store,
Bm A
When he walked in and locked the door behind him,
(verse 2)
A
She ducked down behind the counter,
A
He said get up I know you're down there,
Bm A
And I've got a gun just hold on I'll find it,
(bridge)
D E A E F#m
He fumbled through the pockets of his faded denim jacket,
D E A E F#m E A E
Handed her a note and said You'd better do exactly what it says,
E
And she read,
(chorus)
A Bm
Nobody love nobody gets hurt,
D E
She looked at him with a nervous grin,
A
And she pointed to that word,
D E
He said what the hell I can't spell,
A E F#m
but you know what I meant,
E D E A
And she said yeah, but that ain't what you said,
(verse 2)
A
She said I don't think you want to do this,
A
Sounds to me like there's more to it,
Bm A
He said Spare your views on my abusive childhood,
(verse 3)
A
Cause the last time I saw my old man,
A
Was in a photograph in our garbage can,
Bm A
He never gave a damn so tell why I should,
(bridge)
D E A E F#m
And you don't know the half of all the demons that I battle,
D E A E F#m
And you ain't gonna save me with your mindless psycobabble
E
I'm damaged goods,
(chorus)
A Bm
Nobody love and nobody gets hurt,
D E
And as he walked away in the pouring rain,
A
She still could hear that word,
D E
He said what the hell I can't spell,
A E F#m
But you know what I meant,
E D E A
And she said yeah, but that ain't what you said,
E D E A
And she said yeah but that ain't what you said,
