[Intro]
| F/C | Em | Am | - |
[Verse 1]
F/C Em Am
When I was a babe I fell down in the holler
F/C Em Am
When I was a girl I fell into your arms
F/C G Am
We fell on hard times and we lost our bright color
F/C Em Am
You went to the dogs and I lived by my charms
[Verse 2]
F Em
I danced for my dinner,
Am
spread kisses like honey
F Em Am
You stole and you gambled and I said you should
F G
We sang for our suppers,
Am
and we drank up our money
F
Then one day you left,
Em Am
saying I was no good
[Chorus]
F Am
Well, all right, I'm bad, but then,
Em F/C
you're no prize either
F Am
All right, I'm bad, but then,
Em F
that's nothing new
G
You say you won't love me,
Am
well I won't love you neither
F G Am
Just let me remind you who I am to you
[Verse 3]
F/C Em Am
'Cause I am the one who looks out when you're leaping
F/C Em Am
And I am the one who knows how you were brave
F/C G Am
And I am the one who knows what you said sleeping
F/C Em Am
I'll take that and more when I go to my grave
[Chorus]
F Am Em F
It's sooner than later that I'm six feet under
Am Em F
It's sooner than later that you'll be alone
F G Am
So who will you turn to tomorrow,
I wonder?
F
For when the bell rings, lover,
G Am
you're on your own
F
For when the bell rings, lover,
G Am
you're on your own
[Outro]
F/C Em Am
And I am the one who you let see you weeping
F/C Em Am
I know the soul that you struggle to save
F/C Em Am
Too bad I'm the bet that you lost in the reaping
F/C Em Am
Now what will you do when I go to my grave?
