A Journalist Falls In Love With Deathrow Inmate #16 Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I was [C]writing his story and
he gave me a look
He [Am]was very handsome,
distract[A]ingly [Am]so
[C]And I never dreamed that
he'd be my boyfriend
[Am]He wrote me letters,
daily from prison
[F]That said, "I know [G]I've killed [C]a few
But [Am]none of those [G]women [C]were you"
[Am]I couldn't speak[G], it was over [C]for [Am]me
I'd [F]found my Grim [G]Reaper [C]Prince

[Verse 2]
[Am]Well, [C]he said he loved me,
[Am]cook[C]ed me dinner
[Am]He cut my lungs out and made
me feel thin[E]ner[Am]
And [C]I'll never forget him
now that it's over
[Am]The life that we had 'til
they strapped him [E]down
[Esus4]Oh, but how a[Am]ll th[F]e girl[G]s were jealous[C]
[Am]'Cause he li[G]ked me the best![C]
Oh, and [Am]I couldn't bre[G]athe,
it was [C]true love [Am]indeed
[F]But now my [G]grim prince [C]is gone
[Am]

[Verse 3]
Well, [C]I said I loved him
when they strapped him in
But [Am]he wasn't crying,
he took it like a man
[C]And the families watched
him as he breathed his last
I [Am]got very angry when
they started to laugh
And [F]say "now [G]he's got
what's com[C]ing[Am]
He [G]was due his [C]lot"
Oh and [Am]I couldn't se[G]e,
[C]there were tears [Am]on my cheek!
Good[F]bye my

[Verse 4]
[G]grim reaper [C]prince
[F]Goodbye my [G]grim reaper [Am]prince
Good[F]bye, good[G]bye,
[C]I'll see you [Am]in a while
Good[F]bye, [G]farewell, good [C]luck
