 |  |  |  (He adds a G note to the  chord.)
 She  opened her heart
 
 To  tearaway, (  sheepskin tearaway)
He  was covered with scars
 And full of heroin
Everyone  said from the start
 Not one single  thing, could ever be  OK
 She didn't listen  any way...
  Protip:|||||||(hope thats enough to get you through it)|||||||
 She just opened her heart
 Threw her cares away
 And they held on so tight in the dark
 He brushed her hair away
 She heard him say
 All my life I've been fighting
 And making the best of
 And willing very bad luck, very bad luck, very... very bad luck
 To Thee
 All your fighting got you nowhere
 If nowheres here with you
 On my skin
 And you can fight forever
 But if you killed them all
 You'd never win
 So give me your surrender
 There are other ways
 To kill the pain
 But things will never mend you
 It's like trying to dry your eyes in the pouring rain
 She opened her heart
 To tearaway, (sheepskin tearaway)
 Was covered with scars
 And full of heroin
 Tearaway, sheepskin tearaway
 Sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep
 Sheepskin tearaway

Tearaway, sheepskin tearaway
Sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep
