	The preacher talked with me and he smiled
	         F                               Bb
	Said to come and walk with me, come and walk one more mile
	        (Bb)                       Cm
	Now for once in your life you're alone

Verse 2:

	I told him I'm in no hurry
	But if I broke her heart, then won't you tell her I'm sorry
	And for once in my life I'm alone
	And I gotta let her know
	Just in time before I go

[repeat chorus]

Verse 3:

	Well, I laughed but that didn't hurt

	Now I'm crying, but deep down inside
	Well, I did it to him
	Now it's my turn to die

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
