If you skirt disaster

On the day they told her

Twice burned

I know you be reaching your time 

F5  D#5  F5

D#5
Just a product of your mind 

G#5
But when you continue to let loose on a running man 
D#5
You send him crashing to the edge of the pavement 
F5
You're doing something you don't quite understand 
A#5            C5
Making like he's a lesser man 

G#5
So be gone be gone to plea 
D#5
You got your vehicle to ride on 
F5
Off to the commissioner as fast as you can 
A#5               C5
With your smoking gun in hand

A#5
Six men on their knees eyes shinin' in the high beams of the searchlight 
A#5                    F5                   C#5
Cop's shadows on the wall several stories tall instilling whoa such a fright 
A#5
One's kicked in the gut; he's all cut up by the corner cop 
A#5               F5                  C#5
One stands in defense in a broken sentence 
Asks not to be shot 

G#5
If you please 
D#5
You men of authority 
F5
We do not speak your language see 
C#5
Please act accordingly

They got it down pat; they got it down to a tee 
G#5
No one gets through the lockstep jaw 
D#5
You ain't guilty but you did get caught 
F5
So for lack for a better suspect we nominate you 
C#5
To ride this one out, to see this one through 
D#5
See a , see a 
See a , see a 

F5
Arms thrown up in a ever fearful protest 
C#5
As if the firing squad would ever think to notice 
G#5
As if he could summon the likes of Moses 
D#5
To put blood back in his friend's veins 

F5   (Power Chords)
And if you're one step faster 
C#5
You can skirt disaster 
G#5
But if it's not you, it'll be the next guy 
D#5
Who's the wrong color at the wrong time 

F5     (Full Barre Chords)
Another day's over and the decision still stands 
C#5
His honor in his chambers still washing his hands 
G#5
You know he's been fiddling in his room all day 
D#5
Just trying to wash all his conscience away 

F5
No one's asking for hangman's tree 
C#5
They just looking for something true to believe 
G#5
See a , see a 
D#5
See them know but they will not say 

F5
He wasn't begging he was just keeping time with his cup 
C#5
He wasn't begging he was just keeping time with his cup 
G#5
He wasn't begging he was just keeping time with his cup 
D#5
You go on and believe that, You keep your eyes straight up 

F5
'Cause I was just looking I had no intention to touch 
C#5
I was just looking, I had no intention to touch 
G#5
I was just looking, I had no intention to touch 
D#5                                                  F5
And I know when I'm not welcome so I thank you very much
