[Verse]

Am                      F7
I've been a bad bad girl,
Am                                  F7
I've been careless with a delicate man.
Am                        F7
And it's a sad sad world,
Am
When a girl can break a boy
F7
Just because she can.

[Pre-Chorus]

C               Bb                 F7
Don't you tell me to deny it,
                               C
I've done wrong and I want to
Bb                    Am
Suffer for my sins
C                       Bb
I've come to you cause I need
Ab7                           G7
Guidance to be true

And I just don't know where I can begin

Am                          F7
Heaven help me for the way I am
Am                             F7
Save me from these evil deeds
Am                               F7
Before I get them done

Am                              F7
I know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand
Am                      F7
But I keep livin' this day like
Am                        F7
The next will never come

Oh, help me, but don't tell me to deny it.

I've got to cleanse myself.
Bb                Am
Of all these lies till I'm good enough for him.
C                      Bb                   Ab7
I've got a lot to lose and I'm bettin' high

So I'm beggin' you before it ends

Just tell me where to begin.

Because he was all I ever knew of love.

[Bridge]

Eb                Cb7
Let me know the way
Ab7                         Cb7
Before there's hell to pay
Eb                     Cb7                          Ab7
Give me room to lay the law and let me go
Eb                 Cb7
I've got to make a play
Ab7                 Cb7
To make my lover stay
Eb                        Cb7
So, what would an angel say?
                 Ab7
cause the devil wants to know
