[Verse]
Am Em
There's a man gun drawn with his eyes to the floor
F E
He's about to give up everything that he's worked for
Am Em
He lights up a cig to settle his nerves
F E
And with every breath the smoke represents every word
Am Em
That he never said
F
He never could talk
E
To God or himself
Am
So he just carried the thought
Em
Of what if he did
F
Would that be a sin
E Am
Or would that be something that God could forgive
Em F
Would he forgive himself for everything else
E Am
Is it that hard to live inside his own skin
Em F
And we all live in doubt of what we can't figure out
E
But if we knew we'd have nothing new to shout about
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Dm F E
[Chorus]
F E
And it's all going down
Am
On the wrong side of town
Dm
Where the hospital
F
Is nowhere to be found
E
Call the ambulance
Am
To fill him with blood
Dm
And we'll try our best
F
To reverse what he's done
[Instrumental]
E Am Dm F E Am Dm
[Verse]
Am Em
There's a girl pen drawn on a loose leaf sheet
F E
She paints on her face everything that she needs
Am Em
And from what it seems behind the make-up she dreams
F E
Of a life she made up made of movies screens
Am Em
She stopped talking to God several months ago
F E
When the beatings from her drunken father started to show
Am Em
It was a secret she kept she never felt so alone
F E
Now she's out finding friends to take her home
Am Em
And with every day she wears a new tattoo
F E
Just a quick fix for her black and blues
Am Em
And she zippers up those big black boots
F E
In hopes that it will bring her any bit closer to the truth
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Dm F E
[Chorus]
F E Am
And it's all going down on the good side of town
Dm F
Where the quickest fix is nowhere to be found
E Am
Call the ambulance to give her a lift
Dm F
After all she's done it's come down to this
[Instrumental]
E Am Dm F E Am Dm
[Outro]
F Am Em
We are the ones who live with doubt
Dm F
Out throats too sore, too sore to shout
Am Em
The things we never said, we spill them out
Dm
In violent red
F
In violent red
