SGo you want to Dbe in love likGe the movies

But in Gthe movies they're Dnot in love at Gall

And with a Emtwinkle in their Deyes

BmThey're just saying their Clines

So we cGan't be in Dlove like the Gmovies

Now in the Bmmovies they Cmake it look so Gperfect

And in the Bmbackground they're Calways playing the right Gsong

And in the Bmending there's Calways a resolGution

ButBm real life is Cmore than just Gtwo Dhours Clong

So you Gwant to be in Dlove like the Gmovies

But in Gthe movies they're Dnot in love at Gall

And with a Emtwinkle in their Deyes

BmThey're just saying their Clines

So we cGan't be in Dlove like the Gmovies

Well you can Bmfreeze frame any Cmoment from a Gmovie

Or run the Bmwhole damn thing Cbackwards from reel to Greel

But I dBmon't see one single Csolitary light technGician

Or oBmne single Ccamera in this GmoonDlit Cfield

I don't Gwant to be in Dlove like the Gmovies

Cause in Gthe movies they're Dnot in love at Gall

With a Emtwinkle in their Deyes

BmThey're just saying their Clines

So we cGan't be in Dlove like the Gmovies

CYour mama Gdoesn't likeC me

She thinks I'm a CsorGry Fman

CWhen she tells her Gfriends aboutC me

She says I'm a CsorGry Fman

CAnd she asks you each day

GWhy would you Cstay with a sCorGry Fman

CWell I was doing my best

GJust trying to Cimpress, still a CsorGry Fman

GAnd I've got Cnews for your Fma

I'm the Gbest she Cever Fsaw

GNo one could Clove your dFaughterG like I Fdo

Your mama told you father

She said I'm a sorry man

So he told me not to ever

Come back here again

So I told your dear old daddy

That he can't keep us apart

Because it's you and not your parents

Who can break my heart

And I've got news for your ma

I'm the best she ever saw

No one could love your daughter like I do

Well I tried to tell your mama

But I didn't want to fight

Well they'll be the same tomorrow

So we're leaving here tonight

Tomorrow they'll be waking

To a sad sorry dawn

And then they'll be sorry

When they see that we're gone

Cause I've got news for your ma

I'm the best she ever saw

No one could love your daughter like I do

Well GI know a preacher hes a Freal good Gman

Speaks from the good book Fin his Chand

And Ghelps all peopleF when heG can

But me and God don'tF need a middle Cman

Now I found God in a soft woman's hair

A long days work and a good sittin chair

The ups and downs on the treble clef lines

And five miles to go on an interstate sign

CMy GGod Cmy GGod Cand GI

Don't Fneed a middle Cman

Now I found God in a soft woman's hair

A long days work and a good sittin chair

The ups and downs on the treble clef lines

And five miles to go on an interstate sign

Now I don't doubt that the Good Book is true

But what's right for me may not be right for you

So church on Sunday I stand beside

For all the hurtin people with the fear in their eyes

And I thank the Lord for the country land

And just like Paul I thank Him for my hands

But I don't know if my soul is saved

Cause sometimes I use curse words when I pray

My nights have been pretty painful

Losing that pain was always the trick

That I don't know just what to do (but I do)

But it don't hurt when you're just killing time

I was killing time and I think that you knew

GDo you love him? Do you love him? Do you lDove him, my Gdear?

GDo you love him? Do you love him? Do you lDove him, my dear?

D7Does he hold you? Does he hug you? Does he keep you Gnear?

And as you lie together, does he Cwhisper in your ear?

GDo you love him? Do you love him? Do you Dlove him, my Gdear?

GIn the evening, those tired evenings, at Dtwilights first Gglare

DDoes he lay in your lap? D7Do you play with his Ghair?

And when he falls asleep, Do you just Cstare?

GDo you love him? Do you love him? Do you Dlove him, my dGear?

Intro riff

GSomebody get my shotgun

CSomebody get my blade

GSally's been layin' with another man

And he'sD sleeping in my Gplace

GSomebody get my shotgun

Gonna Cshoot him sure as rain

You canG run as fast as you want to boy

I'll Dkill you just the Gsame

Somebody get my pocket blade

Gonna cut him don't you know

You can try to hide all you want to boy

There ain't nowhere to go

Somebody get my shotgun

Somebody get my blade

Sally's been layin' with another man

And he's sleeping in my place

Now Sally don't go thinkin'

That you got off so clean

I'd kill you too if I had the nerve

But I just ain't that mean

So I go and get my murder tools

I throw them in the lake

Gonna steal me an automobile

And drive so far away

Now I am a fugitive

I'm always on the run

Sally told the policeman

Exactly what I'd done

I went and got my shotgun

I went and got my blade

Killed poor Sally's lover

And I put him in the grave.

Now all you ramblin' fellas

You listen close to me

That woman gonna bring you pain

Your heart is gonna bleed

But it ain't worth the trouble

The sufferin' or the grief

A bleeding heart is better than the penitentiary

I killed Sally's lover

One dark and dreary day

Sally got another

And I got sent away

Somebody get my shotgun

Somebody get my blade

Sally's been laying with another man

And I set him in his grave
