[Verse 1]
[G]Bre[C]ak [G]it [C]to them
[G]gently
when you tell my Mom and [Em]Dad
When you see my baby [Am]sister be
as kind [Dsus4]as you can[D]
And break it to my [G]Grandma,
who said "That boy's [C]wild and bad"
Break it to them [Am]gently when you tell them that I
[Dsus4]won't be coming [D]home [G]again

[Verse 2]
Cause I'm [C]running with a gun and it
isn't any fun as a [G]fu gitive

God I want to go [Em]home

[Verse 7]
You gotta break it to them [C]gently
Gotta really try to [G]roll 'em
Gotta break it to them [C]gently
Gotta really try to [G]soothe them
