[Verse 1] Em D/F# G Send away for a priceless gift Csus2 Gm7/C One not subtle, One not on the list. Em D/F# G Send away for a perfect world Csus2 Gm7/C One not simply so absurd. Em D/F# G In these times of doing what you're told Csus2 Gm7/C Keep these feelings, no one knows. Am Em Whatever happened to the young man's heart. Am G D Em Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart. [Chorus] Em D And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45 C D Swimming through the ashes of another life. Em D No real reason to accept the way things have changed C Am Staring down the barrel of a 45. [Instrumental Break] | Em D/F# | G - | Csus2 | Gm7/C | [Verse 2] Em D/F# G Send a message to the unborn child Csus2 Gm7/C Keep your eyes open for a while Em D/F# G In a box high up on the shelf Csus2 Gm7/C Left for you no one else Em D/F# G There's a piece of a puzzle known as life Csus2 Gm7/C Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight Am Em Whatever happened to the young man's heart. Am G D Em Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart. [Chorus] Em D And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45 C D Swimming through the ashes of another life. Em D No real reason to accept the way things have changed C Am Staring down the barrel of a 45. [Bridge] Bm C Everyone's pointing their fingers Bm C Always condemning me Bm Nobody knows what Em D/F# G I believe Csus2 Gm7/C I believe [Chorus] Em D And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45 C D Swimming through the ashes of another life. Em D No real reason to accept the way things have changed C Am Staring down the barrel of a 45. [Chorus] Em D And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45 C D Swimming through the ashes of another life. Em D No real reason to accept the way things have changed C Am Staring down the barrel of a 45.
