Em G
We weren't afraid of nothing, wasn't nothing we couldn't do
Am D
She held her breath once for seven minutes and never turned blue
Em G
She could burn a woman down if she felt she'd been unkind
Am D
Or if she thought she was coming on to me, it drove her out of her mind
 
C D C D Em
Oh yeah, it's true just did what we did whenever we wanted to
D C D
Yeah, it's true, we just did what we did whenever we wanted to
 
Em Am Em Am
 
Em G
She was my very best friend, my biggest enemy
Am D
On judgement day we could go either it was all the same you see
Em G
She was not afraid of Satan, in fact she thought he was a joke
Am D
Said she'd tear off his tail and run her fist down his throat
 
C D C D Em
Oh yeah, it's true just did what we did whenever we wanted to
D C D
Yeah, it's true, we just did what we did whenever we wanted to
 
Em G
She was the apple of temptation, the apple of my eye
Am D
Used to rest on a bed of burning coats every single night
Em G
And I know she's out there somewhere, she's wrestling in the bones
Am D
With confetti in her hair and you can bet she's not alone
 
C D C D Em
Oh yeah, it's true just did what we did whenever we wanted to
D C D Em
Yeah, it's true, we just did what we did whenever we wanted to
