D5
Well you praise him
         D5
Then you thank him
         D5         B5 D5     D5
Till you reach the by - and - by
             D(b5)
And I've won hundreds at the track
            D5               D5
But I'm not betting on the afterlife

         D5
Then you kiss his lips
      D5
He forgives you for it
      D5             B5 D5      D5
He forgives you for all  you've done
        D(b5)
But not me
          D5 D5
I'm still an....gry

            G5
What have I done?
                E5        G5
Why am I always missing...
A5            D5
     The big guns?

D5
First I'll build a sword
         D5
Get some words to explain
       D5        B5  D5  D5
It's a plan, brother, at least
            D(b5)          D5           D5
And I'll pretend that everybody here wants peace

     D5
Have mercy,
     D5
Have mercy,
     D5  B5 D5  D5
Have mercy   on me
            D(b5)            D5         D5
Cause we're tired and lonely and we're bloody

             G5
What have we done?
                 E5
Why are we still running
             G5
From our own failing bodies?
A5           D5
    The big guns,
The big guns.

     D5
Sing mercy,
     D5
Sing mercy,
     D5  B5 D5  D5
Sing mercy   on me
         D(b5)          D5           D5
Let's pretend that everybody here wants peace

             G5
What have we done?
                 E5                     G5
Why are we still chasing our own tails and runnin'
A5                D5
    From the big guns,
The big guns,
The big guns.
