Once I played in a rock & roll band

Once I hit the road and I never looked back

Did it mean something that all my heroes drank themselves to death?

I just played their songs, and sometimes had

A few too many beers after my set

Cause, Hell, I deserved it

I deserved it

But there's a darkness that lures you in

In a painted smile it'll call you a friend

But it's the Wolf and you're the Lamb

And I let it take every goddamn thing I had

And I had nothing left to give

I deserved it

And I'm not promising that I'll ever be perfect

But I married you in Spring

And every morning now I wake up there beside you
Am A6/F#
And I look at the ring

And I’ll try to deserve it

To deserve it
