Dead love couldn't go no further  [Verse]

Proud of and disgusted by her  (D#m D#m x3)

Push shove, a little bruised    C#  Bb7

    and battered                D#m D#m

Oh Lord, I ain't comin'    ╔═════════════

    home with you - …      ║ In Hell I'll

My life's a bit more colder   Be in Good

Dead wife is what I told her    Company

Brass knife sinks into my shoulder ══════

Oh babe, don't know what I'm

    gonna do ════════════════╗     [Riff]

I see my red head, messed bed     [Intro]

Tear shed, queen bee, my squeeze

The stage it smells, tells, hells bells

Misspells, knocks me on my knees

It didn't hurt, flirt, blood squirt [In-

Stuffed shirt, hang me on a tree     tro]

After I count down, three rounds    D#m D#m

In Hell, I'll be in good company    D#m D#m
