[Verse 1]
Love songs used to make me feel sad
Now when I hear them, I get mad
All the things that I'd say to you
I'd say them in the worst ways
In the worst ways
In the worst ways
[Verse 2]
Don't try to make me feel okay
All that I have left is the pain
Every inch of me that reminds me of you
I feel them in the worst ways
In the worst ways
In the worst ways
[Chorus]
He would have been a man, boy
But you shot a man down
And he would have been my friend, boy
But now he's gone
Why's it you that keeps creeping into my mind?
I'm trying to move on
But you hit me too when you shot a man down
Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
(You shot a man down)
[Verse 2]
Daylight used to feel so damn good
Now I'm stuck inside picturing you
Sweet times ended so soon
O remember in the worst ways
In the worst ways
In the worst ways
I remember in the worst ways
In the worst ways
In the worst ways
[Chorus]
He would have been a man, boy
But you shot a man down
And he would have been my friend, boy
But now he's gone
Why's it you that keeps creeping into my mind?
I'm trying to move on
But you hit me too when you shot a man down
Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow (Ooh)
You shot a man down
Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow (Ooh)
You shot a man down
[Bridge]
What you running, what you running for?
You won't get away with it anymore
You won't
You won't
[Chorus]
He would have been a man, boy
But you shot a man down
And he would have been my friend, boy
But now he's gone (Now he's gone)
Why's it you that keeps creeping into my mind?
I'm trying to move on
But you hit me too when you shot a man down
Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
You shot a man down

I remember when Mick and I first started writing this song, I had been listening to a lot of country music and wanted to do something in that vein. Mick started playing the guitar riff and began humming the verse melody, we started to build the song around that. “in the worst ways” that line pretty...
