The dead girl mopes through a dead scene
D                                              C
With a cross-stitched lip she?s picking at the seams

Now outside the bar Hank is straddling a police car
D                                              C
His fingers are purple and numb from circling a crowbar
D
Well twenty-four years have made it clear
    G           G/F#              Em
That things ain't ever what they appear
Am D
No no

G         D
I won?t be going easily
Am      C/B  D      C

A sweet drink spiked with a speed-ball
D                                   C
A twenty-foot ladder and a ninety-foot wall
D                             G
Dark shadows are gathering and swaggering
G/F#    Em
Down the hall
Am   D
Ahh, Ahh

And I know


Chorus:
G         D
I won?t be going easily
Am   C/B  D      C
I won?t be going lightly
G             D
And I won?t be going peacefully
Am        C/B D     C
No I won?t be going cleanly
