Miriam
Em
That's such a pretty name
C
I'm gonna say it when

I make you cry

G
Miriam
Em
You know you done me wrong
C
I'm gonna smile when
G
You say goodbye

F Em
Now I'm not the jealous type
F Em
Never been the killing kind
F Em
But you know I know what you did
F D
So don't put up a fight

G
Miriam
Em
When you were having fun
C
In my big pretty house
G
Did you think twice?

G
Miriam
Em
Was it a game to you?
C
Was it a game to him?
G
Don't tell me lies

F Em
I know he said it's not your fault
F Em
But I don't believe that's true
F Em
I've punished him from ear to ear
F D
Now I've saved the best for you

G Em C G x2

F Em
And I'm trying not to hurt you
Am
Cause you might not be that bad
F Em D
But it takes a lot to make me go this mad

G
Oh Miriam

That's such a pretty name
C
And I'll keep saying it
G
Until you die

G
Miriam

You know you done me wrong

I take your life
