From "Legendary Hearts" (1983) [Chorus]
D                G                     D
Betrayed by the one who says she loves you

G                      D
By the one who says she needs you

G                Asus  A
Above all other men

D                  G               D
Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty

G                  D       G     A    D        
Her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed
[Verse]
D                                      G
Justice taught her confidence her mother was like steel

     Em
Her cousins, they're all convicts

     A                          Asus
She alone rose above that wheel

D                              
But a motorcyclist no matter how good

      G
Is slave to the oncoming truck

       Em                         A
And the poison of her father was her most pitiless luck
[Chorus]
D                G                     D
Betrayed by the one who says she loves you

G                      D
By the one who says she needs you

G                Asus  
Above all other men

D                  G               D
Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty

G                  D       G     A    D        
Her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed
[Verse]
D                            G
Three of us lie in this bed, night of infamy

Em                               A
One of us lies on our back, her father's in her head

D                            
And quick she turns and slaps my face

        G
And with her eyes open wide she screams

    Em
"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!"

             A
But she's looking right past me
[Chorus]
D                G                     D
Betrayed by the one who says she loves you

G                      D
By the one who says she needs you

G                Asus  A
Above all other men

D                  G               D
Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty

G                  D        G     A    D        G  A  D 
Her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed

    G      A   D         G  A  D
And I lie down betrayed

  G    A   D        G  A  D
I lie down betrayed
G A D
