The Greatest Story Ever Told

[Intro]
| C5 - | B5 - | Ab5 - | Eb5 G5 |

[Verse 1]
C5
  How could this happen?
Am I dreaming again?
               Eb5          D5           C5
Her body's not moving I'm assuming she's dead This isn't a
    Ab5
fuck
ing game
C5                   G5
  There's somebody's life at stake
C5                     Ab5
  She's covered in bruises
        C5              Eb5      G5         Ab5
But the truth is that I never committed the crime
                        Bb5     C5
Cause I could never hurt   a fly
Then how'd she lose her life?
In denial
Ab5
Time to burn and dig
    Bb5         C5
The whites of my  eyes
                       Ab5
Then what went on that night

[Pre-Chorus]
                                               C5
Listen closely as I tell you I'm not who I seem
                            Bb5                    Ab5
I'm gonna touch you cause I like it when you scream
                                                       C5
I wanna watch you when you're sleeping and thinking of me
                                    Bb5
And that's what he told her when he killed her
                          Ab5
That son of a bitch took away my girl
           G5
He's gonna pay for it

[Chorus]
C5                 Ab5
  'Cause you might think you're in love,
Eb5             Bb5                  C5
   And he might promise you the world
        Ab5                Eb5
Don't believe what he says,
                    G5
He's not real, it's murder

[Post-Chorus]
C5
  My God,
you better fear me 'cause I'm gonna find you

[Verse 2]
       C5                                 B5
'Cause I'll be out in six months with his address and a
shotgun
      Bb5                      A5
And a promise for justice that night,
            Ab5
And I'll be standing at the crime
                             Bb5          C5
So they can throw me back in prison for my  life
                               Ab5
If it could bring you back to me  

[Pre-Chorus]
                                                       C5
Last night I dreamed we had a future and you were alive
                         Bb5
It was springtime on our wedding day
                           Ab5
There were birds in the sky
                                                           C5
The sun was glowing it was beautiful and everyone was there
                                Bb5
I still can't believe that your gone I'm so lost
    Ab5         G5
I'm sorry don't go
Oh please god

[Chorus]
C5                 Ab5
  'Cause you might think you're in love,
Eb5             Bb5                  C5
   And he might promise you the world
        Ab5                Eb5
Don't believe what he says,
               G5
He's not real, he's just a murderer

[Bridge]
C5 Gb5 F5 C5 Gb5
F5
  C'mon c'mon
                       C5
I think that I've had enough

[Verse 3]
        Bb5
He says,   You're too late
A5
  I've got a hole to dig
    Ab5                 G5       C5
And you think that I've overreacted
        Bb5
She was,   so cute
A5                              Ab5           G5
  I couldn't resist cause I'm a sucker for promiscuous
  C5
action
So tell me, just tell me
            C5
Tell me the truth

[Chorus]
                 Ab5
'Cause you might think you're in love,
Eb5             Bb5                  C5
   And he might promise you the world
        Ab5                Eb5
Don't believe what he says,
He's not real
G5 C5                   Ab5        Eb5
     'Cause you've been lying awake
               G5                  C5
From this nightmare I feel betrayed
  Ab5     Eb5
I gave my life
    G5           C5
But you took it away

[Post-Chorus]
Am I dead?
Or am I still breathing?
                 D5                     Ab5
'Cause you've stolen the love of my life
             G5                               C5
So you'll be sleeping with the fishes tonight,
        D5       Ab5
Alright,  alright
G5                              C5
Sleeping with the fishes tonight
D5 Ab5 G5
         Now listen

[Bridge]
C5                           G5
  I'm not religious but I've learned to pray for her
Ab5                     G5                     C5
   I'm not a violent man  but people can change
So while you're sleeping
     G5
I'll slit your throat and drain your blood
    Ab5
And mail it to your mother
          G5                          C5
She'll discover what a mess you become
Oh, I think she might like that
          C5
I fucking do

[Chorus]
                 Ab5
'Cause you might think you're in love,
Eb5             Bb5                  C5
   And he might promise you the world
        Ab5                Eb5
Don't believe what he says,
He's not real
G5 C5                   Ab5        Eb5
     'Cause you've been lying awake
               G5                     C5
From this nightmare, you feel betrayed
  Ab5     Eb5
I gave my life
    G5           Ab5
But you took it away

[Outro]
C5              Bb5
  There's not a day that goes by
Ab5                 C5   Bb5
   But you took it a  way
Ab5 C5    Bb5          Ab5
      But you took it a   way
C5 Bb5 Ab5
