A

[Verse 1]
A
She was all alone at half past four,
A
At an all night small town convenience store,
Bm                                       A 
When he walked in and locked the door behind him,

[Verse 2]
A
She ducked down behind the counter,
A
He said get up I know you're down there,
Bm                                    A
And I've got a gun just hold on I'll find it,

[Bridge]
     D                    E             A     E      F#m
He fumbled through the pockets of his faded denim jacket,
 D            E              A           E    F#m           E    A  E  
Handed her a note and said You'd better do exactly what it says, 
E
And she read,

[Chorus]
 A                       Bm
Nobody love nobody gets hurt,  
       D                    E
She looked at him with a nervous grin,
A
And she pointed to that word,  
         D            E
He said what the hell I can't spell, 
     A         E     F#m
but you know what I meant,
               E              D     E         A
And she said yeah, but that ain't what you said,

[Verse 2]
A
She said I don't think you want to do this,
A
Sounds to me like there's more to it,
Bm                                       A
He said Spare your views on my abusive childhood,

[Verse 3]
A
Cause the last time I saw my old man,
A
Was in a photograph in our garbage can,
Bm                                    A
He never gave a damn so tell why I should,

[Bridge]
     D                   E              A      E      F#m            
And you don't know the half of all the demons that I battle,
     D                E                 A        E   F#m  
And you ain't gonna save me with your mindless psycobabble
              E
I'm damaged goods,

[Chorus/Outro]
A                             Bm
Nobody love  and nobody gets hurt,
             D                         E
And as he walked away in the pouring rain,
A
She still could hear that word,
          D           E  
He said what the hell I can't spell, 
     A        E      F#m
But you know what I meant,
              E              D      E       A
And she said yeah, but that ain't what you said,
              E              D    E        A   
And she said yeah but that ain't what you said,
