(verse)
C9
she's got a case against me
G/B
a jury of my peers
A5
and the rage of the righteous
G
screaming in her ears
C9
I'm not dignified anymore
G/B
can't say I didn't call
A5
when I say I love you
G
she don't hear me anymore

C Am
and don't give that girl a gun
C Am
Don't give that girl a gun
F G
she's already won, she's already won
 
(verse)
I made a bad connection
she says I went astray
I jumped ship, abandoned my post
I didn't think I lost my way
oh how the mighty fall
you know I saw her crack a smile
I don't got a chance for redemption
she don't believe in the miriacle mile
 
(bridge)
F
take the first shot baby it'll be real clean
G
'cause i'm your girl, strong and mean
F
take the second shot baby it'll be real cool
G
'cause I'm your fool
 
*Chorus*
 
(verse)
I said hold me closer
'cause something's happening
why can't we come together
she said I doubt we ever will, ever will again
 
*Chorus*
