G C Am Am7
G
And we couldn't sweep
C
The ghosts out of our
Am Am7
one bedroom apartment
G C Am
So we packed all our things
Am7 G
Or we left them in some garage
C Am Am7
And I knew two disappointed men
G
In your fathers eyes
C Am Am7
And my father arms
C Am
And I knew that I could make
C Am
Some lame reference
C G C
To Socrates or, or even Sartre
Am C Am
But I left the gun on my hip
C Am7 G
And shot right from the heart
G C
If you, If you curl up
Am F G
And bury your face into the carpet
C Am F
In that bedroom of that one bedroom apartment
G C Am
You will see a 7 year old boy
F G
And he's screaming out screaming out screaming out
G C Am
Here is your grandfathers gun
Am7 G
The one he used to end his time here
G C
Will you tell the ambulance
Am Am7
That I am not ready to go
G C Am Am7
Strike two, sweet chariot
G C Am Am7
Coming forth direct my home
G C
I am sorry you know
Am Am7 G
I never meant to hurt you but I did
C Am
Strike two, swing low
Am7 G
Coming slowly forth
C Am
To carry us all home
Am7 G
But not tonight
C Am
Their knocking down my door
Am7 G
Their cutting me away
C Am Am7 G
One last look
