Lyrics

You were wrong,

you were right

and you are gone

to night.

You were free,

so a live.

You were wrong,

(Amaj7sus2)you were right.

And you were down,

you could see,

and you wore hearts

for me.

You were sharp,

as sharp as knives.

You were wrong,

you were right.

Shot down, said you nev er had the chance.

Took a ride on a su i cide ro mance.

Could ’ve sworn there was some bod y home, (E)(to) fa cil i tate the great un known.

(C#m7)Wom an, I ain’t gon na meet you an y (F#7)where.

Don’t know where I’m go in’ yet,

but I (Bsus)sure am get ting there.

(E)Shot gun fire, an y bod y home?

I got two dimes in the tel e phone.

All right,

Shot gun fire, an y bod y home?

I got two dimes in the tel e phone.

All right,

no, it’s not eas y to night.

And you were bound,

you were free

and you wear black

for me.

You were dark,

as dark as night.

You were wrong,

you were right.

Shot down, said you nev er had the chance.

Took a ride on a su i cide ro mance.

Could ’ve sworn there was some bod y home, (E)(to) fa cil i tate the great un known.

(C#m7)Wom an, I ain’t gon na meet you an y (F#7)where.

Don’t know where I’m go in’ yet,
