Death in large numbers no respect for women or our little ones

Tried talking to Jesus but he just put me on hold

Perhaps this is as good as it gets
Cadd9                      D              Em7             D
When you've given up the drink and those nasty cigarettes
Cadd9               D      Em7                   D
Now leave the party early at least with no regrets
Cadd9              D           Em7                    D
I watch the sun as it comes up I watch it as it sets

Yeah this is as good as it gets

She is one xxxx girl - full of mystery
