Six O’Clock News – Kathleen Edwards
(C C)
Copper on the corner and he loaded two rounds
(C C)
And I can't even cross the line to talk you down
(C C)
And Peter, sweet baby, where'd you get that gun?
(C C)
You spend half your life trying to turn the other half around
And I tried to come clean, but I guess it's no use
Your face is all over six o'clock news
They cleared the street and then they closed the schools
I can't even get inside
(C Am F C) (C Am F C)
(C C)
Did you lose your head when the farm went down?
(C C)
Or was is when your daddy died after he moved to town
(C C)
And I know your momma calls you good for nothin’
(C C)
She says her baby is a failure and she don't want you callin’
Chorus
(C C)
And Peter, sweet baby, there's just something that I got ta say to you
(C C)
I’m gonna have your baby this coming June
(C C)
We could get a little place down by Gilmour Park
(C C)
You could do a little time and save my broken heart
Chorus
And I tried to come clean, but I guess it's no use
Copper went ahead and he just shot you through
Now you're lying dead on the avenue
I can't feel my broken heart
Dm F (C Am F C) (C Am F C)
And I can't feel my broken heart
