[Verse]
Am F7
I've been a bad bad girl,

I've been careless with a delicate man.

And it's a sad sad world,

When a girl can break a boy
F7
Just because she can.
[Pre-Chorus]

Don't you tell me to deny it,

I've done wrong and I want to

Suffer for my sins

I've come to you cause I need
Ab7 G7
Guidance to be true
F7 Ab7
And I just don't know where I can begin

Heaven help me for the way I am

I know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand

But I keep livin' this day like
Am F7
The next will never come
