Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what have I done?
     Am
I've fallen in love with a man on the run
    Am
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I'm begging you please
       Dm       Cadd9       Am
Don't take that sinner from me

Oh don't take that sinner from me


    Am
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what do I do?
     Am                                   
I've fallen for someone who's nothing like you

He's raised on the edge of the devil's backbone

    Am
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, he's somewhere between
    Am                                 
A hangman's knot, and three mouths to feed
        Am
There wasn't a wrong or a right he could choose
   Dm       Cadd9      Am
He did what he had to do
   Dm       Cadd9      Am
He did what he had to do

Give me the burden, give me the blame
     Cadd9                        Em7
I'll shoulder the load, and I'll swallow the shame
Am                  Em7
Give me the burden, give me the blame
     Cadd9              Em7
How many, how many Hail Mary's is it gonna take?


       Am
Don't care if he's guilty, don't care if he's not
       Am                                        
He's good and he's bad, and he's all that I've got
    Am
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I'm begging you please
      Dm        Cadd9      Am
Don't take that sinner from me
      Dm           Cadd9       Am
Oh don't take that sinner from me
