[Am]
[G] [D] [Am]
It [A] was a crime of passion committed with two words [G] in a little white [Bm] church the [A] middle of the night
Before I knew what happened.
I was standing next to her [G] and I [D] crossed my [Am] heart and hope to die
With the echo of my doom still ringing in my ears.
[G] She said you [D] need to know what [A] I believe
I'm a Christian woman, honey.
You're a married [G] man.
Death [D] is the only [A] way
[Am]
[Dm] You [Em] [F]
[G] crossed your heart and [Am] hope to die
[Dm] One way [C] or the other
[F] Gonna be tonight.
Will you be sleeping [G] with the Reaper [Am] me tonight?
[Dm] Sleeping [G] with the Reaper [Am] or me
When a dream is held too tight, honey, you can turn the dust
[G] Did she just [D] love the life right [Am] out of me?
And I didn't mean to step that night
Let alone that I [G] let lust [D] crush the vows I was [Am] born to keep
[Dm] She [Em] said I don't [F] intend to let you tell a lie
You [G] crossed your heart and [Am] hope to die
[Dm] [C]
[F] Gonna be tonight.
Will you be sleeping [G] with the Reaper [Am] me tonight?
[Dm] Sleeping [G] with the Reaper [Am] me
[Dm] But [C]
[F] [G]
[Am] [Dm] [C]
[F] [G]
[Am] [Dm] [G]
[Am] [A] she hit me with both barrels sent my spirit on ahead
[G] Once I [D] watched him [A] throw away the key
Now there's a calm in her voice as she stares at those four [G] walls every [D] day she [A] silently [Em] [Am] repeats
[Dm] She [C] said I don't [F] intend to let you tell a lie
You [G] crossed your heart and [Am] hope to die
[Dm] One way [C] or the other
[F] Gonna be tonight.
Will you be sleeping [G] with the Reaper [Am] me tonight?
[Dm] sleeping [G] with the Reaper
[Am] [F] me
Sleeping [G] with the Reaper
[Am] [Dm] [G] [Am]
