A Journalist Falls In Love With Deathrow Inmate #16

	  		

Verse: 

     C 
I was writing his story, And he gave me a look 
    Am 
He was very handsome, distractingly so 
     C 
and I never dreamed that he'd be my boyfriend 
    Am 
He wrote me letters, daily from prison 



         F            G        C 
That said I know I've killed a few 
    F             G          C 
But none of those women were you 
F          G 
I couldn't speak 
       C        Am 
It was over for me 
  F        G           C 
I found my grim reaper prince 


(Same pattern through out) 

Well he said he loved me 
And he cooked me dinner 
He cut my lungs out 
And made me feel thinner 
And I'll never forget him 
Now that it's over 
The life that we had 
When they strapped him down 
Oh but how all the girls were jealous 
Cause he liked me the best 
Oh and I couldn't breathe 
It was true love indeed 
But now my grim prince is gone 


Well I said I loved him 
When they strapped him in 
But he wasn't cryin' 
He took it like a man 
And the families watched him 
As he breathed his last 
But I got rather angry 
I started to laugh 
And say now he's got what's comin' 
He was due his lot 
Oh and I couldn't see, there were tears on my cheek 
Goodbye my grim reaper prince
