[Em][Bm][Em]
[A][Em][G][Em][A][Em][Bm]
[C]
We [Bm]woke up

[Verse 1]
as men, but to[Em]night
[Bm]Tonight we'll [G]sleep as killer[D]s
As we break the cryptic [C]morning
With a bullet and [Bm]a prayer
The steel nev[Em]er seemed
so cold and agile
And [D]a life never seemed less vital and
[C]fra[Bm]gile
[A][Em][G][Em][G]

[Verse 2]
[Bm]With a heart that's beating
Louder than my [G]own
I watch a girl they call Kezia
[Em]I wa[Bm]tch a woman that I know
My hope and my own future,
[G]blindfol[Em]ded (to atone)
To atone for [D]a sin I didn't care [C#]for[A]
[G]But a sin that paid my debts
A [D]sin that fed my [A]children
[G]That burned my [A]smiles and [Bm]cigar[F#]ettes
[Bm]

[Verse 3]
And no one ever
Said that hope would [D]be [G]so [A]beautiful
And [Bm]no one ever
Said I'd have to [D]pull [G]the tri[A]gger,
on [Bm]her
[A][F#][Bm][A]

[Verse 4]
[F#][A]
[Bm]I can't even still her
[A]trembling [Bm]hands
That were locked up by the [A]duti[F#]ful
[D]And[G] th[Bm]e ob ligated[G][Bm]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]Five [D]sol[Bm] diers forever
[D]sed[G]ated
With [D]the [G]"No one's re[Bm]sponsible"
Patho[D]logical [G]drama[Bm]
of [D]our[A]
[G]Social [A]justice [G]dribble, dri[Em]bble,
dribble
[G][D]

[Verse 6]
[Bm]
Her tiny steps tell [A]lies [Em](Re
surrect a [G]static lifetime)
About [A]the [G]choice I have to make (Starve to death
[A]my own[Bm] mistakes)
Pull the [A]screaming trig

[Verse 7]
[Bm]ger
And watch your [G]carcass bleed
[A]me [G]dry[Em][G]
[F#]Or d[Bm]rop the gun and try to s[Em]hake a[Bm]way
The blindfold from [G]your eyes?

[Verse 8]
[G][A]
[Bm]Drop the gun, drop the gun,
[A]dro[Bm]p the gun
Drop [G]the gun!

[D]Sin I didn't care [A]for
[G]But a sin that paid my debts
[D]A sin that fed my [Asus4]chil dren[D]
[G]And burned my smiles and cigarettes
[D]Sin I didn't [A]care for
But [G]a sin that paid my debts
A [D]sin that fed my [Asus4]chil dren[A]
That [G]burned my smiles and cigarettes
