[Bridge]

E5
How do I explain this

E5
I mean how do I put this into word

E5
It's one thing or another

E5
But it's neither this nor that

E5
Acually it's a collection of things

E5                                    A5
She said: "That's it, That's it, Get out"

Well her mother said

N.C. "Kill him, slow at your leisure" N.C. Ah but desperate times N.C. Call for desperate measures N.C. So she went to the closet N.C. And she pulled the old gun down

N.C.                                                            A5
"I'll put a bullet through his heart if he ain't home by sundown"

    G5                                     A5
Yea 5:55 he come walking in the front door smiling

          G5                                           D5
He said: "Well don't read too much into what I ain't denying"

D5          
She screams
