Corrupting My Better Half by Harley Poe
Corrupting My Better Half
Verse
A D A D A F#m A E A E
Pre chorus
E D A C#m E
Chorus
A E D A
Cutest girl I ever saw, did I love her?
Then why'd I go and do something so cruel?
I married her on that summer day, did she love me?
Well, she said yes so she must've been a fool
On our honeymoon night instead of making sweet love
I sat her down and confessed my true history
I said, "Baby, I love you and I hope you know you're a gift from above,
but I killed twenty men and the cops are after me."
Well, she said, "That's okay. I don't care dear
'Cause I love you anyway.
Honey, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
so be strong and be brave."
Well, I'll try
You know I'll try
And God said it is good
And man and woman should
Become one and be fruitful
Well, we would if we could
But we're runnin' from the law
And we're livin' in a shack
And I'm gonna burn in hell
For corruptin' my better half
Cruisin' down the freeway goin' ninety-five
We're robbin' convenience stores and tryin' to stay alive
I'm sorry I got that man back there. Could you ever forgive me?
For bringin' you into my life when I shoulda let you be
Well, she said, "That's okay. I don't care dear
'Cause I love you anyway.
Honey, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
so be strong and be brave."
Well, I'll try
Oh God, you know I'll try
And God said it is good
And man and woman should
Become one and be fruitful
Well, we would if we could
But we're runnin' from the law
And we're livin' in a shack
And I'm gonna burn in hell
For corruptin' my better half
WOO!
The cops have found our hideout and they shot her
Why'd they go and do somethin' so cruel?
She died in my arms, I had to leave her
I'm sorry, my love, for being such a fool
But she said, "That's okay. I don't care dear
'Cause I love you anyway.
Honey, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
so be strong and be brave."
Well, I'll try
Oh Jesus, you know I'll try
And God said it is good
And man and woman should
Become one and be fruitful
Well, I would if I could
But I'm runnin' from the law
And the cops shot down my shack
And I'm gonna burn in hell
For corruptin' my better half
And I'm gonna burn in hell
For corruptin' my better half
And I'm gonna burn in hell
For killing my better half

Alright, those are the chord progressions for the different parts of the song. I'll put
lyrics for the next two verses up since you can't find the lyrics for this anywhere online.
Verse 2:
Cruisin' down the highway going 95.
We're robbing convenience stores and trying to stay alive.
I'm sorry I killed that man back there can you ever forgive me,
For bringing you into my life when I should've let you be.
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Then he does a little 'solo,' which is just playing through the verse chords once. If
lift your finger off the 2nd string in the A chord and the first string the Dm chord every
and a while it sounds sort of like what he does.
Verse 3:
Well the cops found our hideout and they shot her.
Why'd they go and do something so cruel.
She died in my arms I had to leave her.
I'm sorry my love for being such a fool.

Final Chorus Lyrics:
And God said, 'It is good, and man and woman should
Become one and be fruitful.' Well I would, if I could.
But I'm running from the law and the cops shot down my shack.
And I'm gonna burn in hell for corrupting my better half...
I'm gonna burn in hell for corrupting my better half...
I'm gonna burn in hell for killing my better half.
