[Intro]
Gm Cm Gm D
[Verse 1]
We were sittin' at the party drinkin' heavy
Cm
Yellin' "belief in life after love"
We were so damn drunk
Gm D Gm
Doin' our best impressions of Cher that we could
[Verse 2]
Until someone said "I'd kill for more tequila"
Cm
Another voice said "Fuck me, we're out of drugs!"
Gm
In a moment of silence, I had an idea
D Gm
Slowly started standing up
[Verse 3]
Cm F Bb C Gm
Oh, just let me use your car and I'll go
I didn't have money
Cm
But i knew my friend, he always kept a pistol in the car
Gm
So I parked down the street where no one would see me
D Gm
And walked into the gas station store
[Chorus]
Cm Gm
Yellin' "la la di da, don't start to cry
Bb F
Just give me what I want, and I'll go
Cm Gm
La la di da, put the money inside"
D Gm
'Cause no one wants to die in a Texaco
Cm Gm D Gm
[Verse 4]
I was staring at the man behind the counter
Cm
The customers were laying on the floor
Gm
I said, "We're gonna sing a song, it's called 'The Sound of Silence'
D Gm
And you, just open the fucking drawer!"
[Verse 5]
But he pulled out a gun like a magician
Cm
Well, I've also learned some magic over the years
Gm
My bullet hocus pocused through the back of his head
D
And made the side of his jaw disappear
[Chorus]
Cm Gm
God damnit, la la di da, I told you not to try
Bb F
Look at what you made me do
Cm Gm
La la di da, now you're gonna die
D Gm
The only one to blame here is you
[Verse 6]
Well, I'm guessing that you all feel like a hostage
Cm
But I'm sure it feels nice to be held
Gm
Though comedy and tragedy are historically linked
D Gm
The joke didn't go over too well
[Verse 7]
Cm F
"Oh, please let us go
Bb Gm
I promise that we won't say a thing"
D N.C. D Gm
I said "The next you do decides the version of you your family will see again"
[Verse 8]
N.C.
I had no idea where I was goin'
Cm
I just know I had to get out of this town
Gm
Just give me your keys, you're comin' with me
D
A few minutes later, we were nowhere to be found
[Chorus]
Eb Gm
La la di da, enjoy the ride
Bb F
Keep your eyes on the road
Eb Gm D
La la di da, there was a sign
Gm
120 miles from Mexico
And then it hit me
