| x 8 Guitar: C7 |
| I've been a bad bad girl |
| I've been careless with a delicate man |
| And it's a sad sad world |
| When a girl will break a boy |
| Just because she can |
| Don't you tell me to deny it |
| I've done wrong and I want to |
| Suffer for my sins |
| I've come to you ^Ñcause I need |
| Guidance to be true |
| And I just don't know where I can begin |
| What I need is a good defense |
| ^Ñcause I'm feelin' like a criminal |
| And I need to be redeemed |
| To the one I've sinned against |
| Because he's all I ever knew of love |
| Heaven help me for the way I am |
| save me from these evil deeds |
| Before I get them done |
| I know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand |
| But I keep livin' this day like the next one will never come |
| Oh help me but don't tell me to deny it |
| I've got to cleanse myself of all these lies ^Ñtil I'm good enough for |
| him |
| I've got a lot to lose and I'm bettin' high |
| So I'm beggin' you before it ends |
| Just tell me where to begin |

| Let me know the way before there's hell to pay |
| Give me room to lay the law and let me go |
| I've got to make a play to make my lover stay |
| So what would an angel say |
| The devil wants to know |

| footnote: I tried this version out with my band (we're a 3-piece: drums, |
| bass, & guitar-with a chick singer) and it worked out well! I think if |
| a band did this number "Unplugged" it would come across very 'cool' to |
| the audience. |
