[F#] [G#m] [E] [B]
[F#]Badge number [G#m]301
[E]Sits in his car and [B]stares at his g[F#]un
He [F#]wipes the the blood from his shirt
The [G#m]sweat from his brow
He got [E]out this time but he d[B]on't know how
Well [E]he'd go on home but nob[B]ody's there
[F#]No one to hold no [B]one to care
[F#]There was a time [G#m]he had someone
But one [E]day he came home s[B]he was gone
[G#m]Love and a [E]45
[F#]Are all you need to get [B]thru the night
[G#m]One'll kill you one'll [E]keep you alive
[F#]Love and a [B]45
[F#]Parole number [G#m]fourteen two
[E]Stands on the corner like she [B]used to[F#] do
[F#]She's been away awhile so she's a l[G#m]ittle afraid
And the j[E]udge said he didn't want to [B]see her again
But s[E]he's got no money she's g[B]ot no rent
The [F#]money she had is alr[B]eady spent
Cause a [F#]couple of weeks ago she [G#m]learned her lesson
[E]Went and brought herself a little [B]Smith and Wesson
[G#m]Love and a [E]45
[F#]Are all you need to get [B]thru the night
[G#m]One'll kill you one'll [E]keep you alive
[F#]Love and a [B]45
[G#m] [E] [F#] [B] [G#m] [E] [F#] [G#m]
[B]At 3:15 [F#]he got a call [C#m]somebody heard a scream b[E]ehind a wall
At a [B]little motel d[F#]own by the bay
But b[C#m]efore he got there they [E]got away
[F#] [G#m] [E] [B]
[F#]Well she was all right just a [G#m]little roughed up
So he [E]took her down to the [B]coffee [F#]shop
The [F#]report he filed said [G#m]victim unknown
Now she [E]waits up nights for [B]him to come home
[G#m]Love and a [E]45
[F#]Are all you need to get [B]thru the night
[G#m]One'll kill you one'll [E]keep you alive
[F#]Love and a [B]45
[G#m]Love and a [E]45
[F#]Are all you need to get [B]thru the night
[G#m]One'll kill you one'll [E]keep you alive
[F#]Love and a [B]45
