Am   D6/9/A    B11/A  D6/9/A      x2

   Am                          D6/9/A             B11/A         D6/9/A         I kissed you cause I've never been an angel
   Am                   D6/9/A              B11/A             D6/9/AI learned to say hosannas on my knees
              Am                                           D7/F#But they threw me out of Sunday school when I was nine
              Am               E                 AmAnd the sisters said I did just as I pleased
Even so I try to be a good girl
It's only what I want that makes me weak
I had no desire to be a child of sin
Then you went and pressed your whiskers to my cheek

Am                 D6/9/A        B11/A      D6/9/ADancing with damnation is a ball
          Am                                   D7/F#But of all the little ways I've found to hurt myself

                     Am                                  D7/F#Cause your affront to my virtue was a touch too much
