Intro A5  D5 G5 x 4
           A5                   D5 G5
Well, you know your time has come
            A5                     D5 G5
And you're sorry for what you've done
                D5                                                  A5  D5 G5
You should've never been playing with a gun in those complicated shadows
                 A5                  D5 G5
Well, there's a line that you must toe
             A5              D5 G5
And it will soon be time to go
               D5                                     A5     D5 G5   A5  D5
But it's darker than you know in those complicated shadows
           
           G5                                     D5 
All you gangsters and rude clowns,   Who were shooting up the town
           E5                                   A5    D5  G5  A5  D5
When you should've found someone to put the blame on
            G5                              D5
Though the fury's hot and hard,   I still see that cold graveyard
            E5
There's a solitary stone that's got your name on

           A5                    D5  G5
You don't have to take it from me
       A5              D5  G5
But I know of what I spake
            A5                     D5  G5
You think you're like iron and steel
              E5                                               A5      D5 G5   A5   D5 G5
But iron and steel will bend and break in these complicated shadows

No... (solo)   A5   D5 G5 x3   A5  D5  

           G5                                 D5
Sometimes justice, you will find,   Is just dumb not color blind
         E5                                 A5      D5 G5   A5 D5
And your poor shattered mind can't take it all in
             G5                                   D5
All those phantoms and their shades, Should jump up on Judgement Day
     E5                                                                 
And say to the Almighty "I'm still stinking of sin"

         A5            D5  G5
But the jury was dismissed
          A5                       D5  G5
Took his neck and they gave it a twist
        D5                                               A5    D5 G5  A5 D5
So you see, you won't be missed in those complicated shadows
         A5                 D5  G5
You can say just what you like
      A5                      D5  G5
In a voice like a John Ford film
          A5              D5  G5
Take the law into your hands
              D5                                               A5    D5  G5
And you will soon get tired of killing in those complicated shadows
             A5      D5  G5
