G C Am Am7

And we couldn't sweep

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

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
