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

[Verse 1]
The [C]last time that I saw you,
you were [G]walking out the door
[F]Taking the stairs three at a time,
you were laughing as you walked
[C]But now you're not so civilized,
you [G]steal your daily bread
But I [F]have to hand it to you,
you were always a step ahead
[C]Whoa,

[Verse 2]
[Em]what are they gonna say?[Dm]
[Em]Whoa, they won't let any of us
anywhere [Dm]near[G]

[Verse 3]
[C]Hustling and thieving,
[G]just to get ahead
You would [F]calculate your next move
with no thought for no- one [Dm]else
It's [C]hard not to imagine,
if [G]you once had a friend
The [F]two of you ain't talkin',
because one of you [G]is dead
[C]No,

[Verse 4]
[Em]"he's a bad
kid," they [Dm]screamed
[Em]Whoa, "he won't make it
out of this [Dm]change"
[G]Hey, [C]was it I was waiting with you[F]?
[Dm]Yeah, was it I was waiting
with [G]you?[C]
[G][C]

[Verse 5]
[C]Tried your best to please them,
but [G]just seemed in the way
You were [F]left to your own devices,
no guidance or restraints
[C]The ones who throws the stones
forget com[G]placency is stained
But the [F]one who's hit remembers,
'til the end of their days

[Verse 6]
[Em]No, "he's a bad kid,"
they [Dm]screamed
[Em]Whoa, "he won't make it
out of this [Dm]change"[G]

[Verse 7]
The as[F]sassins in white [Em]coats, will
glue your [Dm]eyelids closed [C]again
And the as[F]sassins all should [Em]know,
And they should [Dm]hang their
heads in [G]shame
[C]

[Verse 8]
What're you [F]gonna do about it?
[Dm]What're- what're- what're- what're
[C]you gonna [F]do about [Dm]it?

[Verse 9]
Was it I was [G]waiting [C]with you?

[Outro 1]
[G][C]
