Chorus)
DGD
Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
GD
By the one who says she needs you
GAsAs
Above all other men
DGD
Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
GDGAD
Her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed
(Verse)
DG
Justice taught her confidence her mother was like steel
Em
Her cousins, they're all convicts
AAsus
She alone rose above that wheel
D
But a motorcyclist no matter how good
G
Is slave to the oncoming truck
EmA
And the poison of her father was her most pitiless luck
(Chorus)
DGD
Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
GD
By the one who says she needs you
GAsus
Above all other men
DGD
Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
GDGAD
Her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed
(Verse)
DG
Three of us lie in this bed, night of infamy
EmA
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)
DGD
Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
GD
By the one who says she needs you
GAsAs
Above all other men
DGD
Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
GDGADD
Her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed
GADD
And I lie down betrayed
GADD
I lie down betrayed
GAD
