[Verse 1]
A A6 Bsus2/A A6 A A6 Bsus2/A A6
It was an evening in Reno like any other
D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D
I was putting on my make up and talking on the phone to my mother
A A6 Bsus2/A A6 A A6 Bsus2/A A6
saying I was going off to work, feeling like a liar and a jerk
D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D
I hung up that phone with a heart like a stone
Bm E F#m
All the secrets ... we don't tell ... put us in hell
[Verse 2]
A A6 Bsus2/A A6 A A6 Bsus2/A A6
I was cooking up some eggs and tucking my thing between my legs
D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D
feeling like a big con as I was pulling up my nylons
A A6 Bsus2/A A6 A A6 Bsus2/A A6
I stood in the mirror and practiced my walk
D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D
I turned the radio on and talked my talk
Bm E F#m
little ... did I know ... tonight I would die
[Verse 3]
A A6 Bsus2/A A6 A A6 Bsus2/A A6
It takes a little bit of grease to make me look pretty
D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D
and if I practice a bit I sound sweet and witty
A A6 Bsus2/A A6 A A6 Bsus2/A A6
in my dress and my high heels I grab my purse and shut the door
D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D
I might be for sale but I aint no whore
Bm E F#m
tonight ... like a cartoon ... I'm off to the bar
[Verse 4]
A A6 Bsus2/A A6 A A6 Bsus2/A A6
Well he was standing in the corner all dressed in black
D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D
When he looked in my eyes my heart went slack
A A6 Bsus2/A A6 A A6 Bsus2/A A6
and he stared into me like he could read my soul
D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D
and he took my outside for a moonlight stroll
Bm E F#m
all the things ... that we do ... looking for love
[Verse 5]
A A6 Bsus2/A A6 A A6 Bsus2/A A6
Well he said he was a singer from Nashville town
D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D
and his voice was rich and deep and brown
A A6 Bsus2/A A6 A A6 Bsus2/A A6
and as he pressed against me he felt so strong
D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D
but his kiss was as soft as a country song
Bm E F#m
and we made love ... in the dark ... in the back of a park
[Verse 6]
A A6 Bsus2/A A6 A A6 Bsus2/A A6
When he finished his business he zipped his pants
D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D
and he started to scream and yell and rant
A A6 Bsus2/A A6 A A6 Bsus2/A A6
he said I was a freak and it was wrong
D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D
and that he was gonna kill me and put me in a song
Bm E F#m
he said if people ask I'll say I shot a man ... just to watch him die
[Verse 7]
A A6 Bsus2/A A6 A A6 Bsus2/A A6
He said my name is Johnny, Johhny Cash
D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D
and I'm drawn to the devil and a magnet for trash
A A6 Bsus2/A A6 A A6 Bsus2/A A6
and I'm gonna shoot you to protect my lie
D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D
and as he pulled that trigger I started to cry
Bm E F#m
and I fell ... in his arms ... just like trash
[Verse 8]
A A6 Bsus2/A A6 A A6 Bsus2/A A6
Well when the ambulance came he was gone like lightning
D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D
I was trembling in the back it was so damn frightning
A A6 Bsus2/A A6 A A6 Bsus2/A A6
I couldn't gather my breathe and it started to rain
D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D
but you can't stop death when it pulls like a train
Bm E F#m
and I was out ... like a light ... or a song
[Verse 9]
A A6 Bsus2/A A6 A A6 Bsus2/A A6
Well my mother held the funeral and no one came
D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D
I don't hold any anger or any blame
A A6 Bsus2/A A6 A A6 Bsus2/A A6
I know that I aint trash I'm a beautiful soul
D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D
and Jesus still loves me with a heart of gold
Bm E F#m
yeah my Jesus ... says I got ... a heart of gold
[Outro]
A A6 Bsus2/A A6 A A6 Bsus2/A A6
It was a evening in Reno like any other
D Bm/D C#m/D Bm/D D Bm/D C#m/D Dm A
I was putting on my make up and talking on the phone to my mother
