[Intro 1]
[Am][G][F][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Jeremy [Am]Lee had an [G]ice- creamery. On the evening of O[C]ctober 10th he lost [F]fifty- five [G]dollars and [C]seventy [Am]cents,
was shot [F]twice in the [G]chest [Am]and again in the head, the police [G]found him dead by the walk- [C]in.

[Verse 2]
And he [F]loved God so [G]much, as he [C]lay in[G]side his [Am]bed he could [F]feel her sweep o[G]ver [C]his skin, feel her f[F]illing the a[G]ir with the [C]weight of her [Am]care, he didn't [G]care what was waiting [C]for him. How he'd [F]cry,
he cried so [G]much knowing [C]that this [G]was the [Am]end, and then he'd [F]feel like a [G]leaf [C]lif[G]ted by [Am]wind. How I [F]love him, so [G]much that I [C]almost cave [Am]in every t[F]ime my hand to[G]uches the pe[C]n.

[Verse 3]
So [F]lower your [G]cameras and [C]switch off the spot[Am]light, you [F]shouldn't be [G]proud of the [C]footage [Am]got, because there [F]won't be an [G]end to the sim[C]ilar [Am]shots that have [F]happened, are [G]happening, and c[C]an't be prev[Am]ented [F]from e[G]ndlesly happening [C]again. For all your [F]pride and your c[G]omfort and s[C]peed o[G]f as[Am]cent,
you're [F]heading too [G]soon to a [C]sim[G]il [Am]ar end - maybe co[F]ughing up bl[G]ood in a h[C]ospital be[Am]d as your he[F]art- attack, ca[G]ncer or ca[C]r accide[Am]nt breaks you do[F]wn to a pl[G]ace in the gr[C]ound for your ki[G]ds to come vi[C]sit.

[Verse 4]
And if [F]God loves us [G]back, now [C]we know [G]what it [Am]is. She must h[F]ave no con[G]trol o[C]ver this w[G]orlds [Am]events, because [F]no one des[G]erves this m[C]uch [G]punish[Am]ment. And now it's l[F]ate in t[G]he autumn,
the leaves [C]line [Am]the bend. It's a [F]beautiful [G]day for the [C]first snow to [Am]land, and so it's [F]landing on [G]me and on [C]Jeremy [Am]Lee who l[F]eft this world g[G]racefully broken.
