[Verso 1]
C Am
I saw a mother of three he gun her down in the snow
F G
I heard the panic in the chatter on the radio
C Am
I don't need your play by play I watched it with my eyes
F G
And saw a rent a cop fire once he stepped aside
[Refrão]
F C
And the story so they say
F C
He was trained to shoot point blank
F C
In the driver side and face
G
did I get that right?
[Verso 2]
C Am
I saw a cosplay queen stand at the microphone
F G
and tell a story inconsistent with the video
C Am
I saw a bitter old man create conspiracy
F G
What if the bullet in his ear had landed differently?
[Refrão]

And I wondered what they'd say
F C
If it went the other way
F C
This was in the light of day
G
What will they do at night?
F G
And all I think is the snow it keeps on falling
F
and covering up their tracks
G
The kids are out there calling,
F
but mom's not coming back

The sirens fade to silence to clear the space below
C
or idle fabrications
F
But we will always know
G C
It's the world's greatest show
