G5 C5 A5 A5
G5
And we couldn't sweep
C5
The ghosts out of our
A5 A5
one bedroom apartment
G5 C5 A5
So we packed all our things
A5 G5
Or we left them in some garage
C5 A5 A5
And I knew two disappointed men
G5
In your fathers eyes
C5 A5 A5
And my father arms
C5 A5
And I knew that I could make
C5 A5
Some lame reference
C5 G5 C5
To Socrates or, or even Sartre
A5 C5 A5
But I left the gun on my hip
C5 A5 G5
And shot right from the heart
G5 C5
If you, If you curl up
A5 F5 G5
And bury your face into the carpet
C5 A5 F5
In that bedroom of that one bedroom apartment
G5 C5 A5
You will see a 7 year old boy
F5 G5
And he's screaming out screaming out screaming out
G5 C5 A5
Here is your grandfathers gun
A5 G5
The one he used to end his time here
G5 C5
Will you tell the ambulance
A5 A5
That I am not ready to go
G5 C5 A5 A5
Strike two, sweet chariot
G5 C5 A5 A5
Coming forth direct my home
G5 C5
I am sorry you know
A5 A5 G5
I never meant to hurt you but I did
C5 A5
Strike two, swing low
A5 G5
Coming slowly forth
C5 A5
To carry us all home
A5 G5
But not tonight
C5 A5
Their knocking down my door
A5 G5
Their cutting me away
C5 A5 A5 G5
One last look
