Like a corn in a field I cut you down
C/E
F9
I threw the last punch too hard
G/B
E9
After years of going steady, well I thought that it was time
Am7
D11
To throw in my hand for a new set of cards
G/B
Cmaj7 Bm/D
And I can't take you dancing out on the weekend
C/E
F9
I figured we'd painted too much of this town
G/B

And I tried not to look as I walked to my wagon
Am7
D11 Cm

And I knew then I had lost what should have been found

And I feel like a bullet in the gun of Robert Ford

I'm low as a paid assassin is

I'm so ashamed can't we patch it up

You make me feel like a bullet honey in the gun of Robert Ford
Like a child when his toy's been stepped on
That's how it all seemed to me
I burst the bubble that both of us lived in
And I'm damned if I'll ever get rid of this guilt that I feel
And if looks could kill then I'd be a dead man
Your friends and mine don't call no more
Hell, I thought it was best but now I feel branded
Breaking up's sometimes like breaking the law
Breaking up's sometimes like breaking the law
