BbDry mouth, push it out, I can hear my heart pound, a Abhero's what I'm Bbnot
BbVoices scream, flashes flare, frozen as the people stare, my Abcrucifixion Bbshot
BbFriends were electric on the western side while triangles were Abshifting on the Bbfloor
BbSqueezing out the breath that I don't have, they're quiet now, they Abonly want two Bbmore
   CmAnd you Ebstep to the BblineEb  
   GmAnd you Fstep to the Abline
BbEvery shot I've taken has led me to this moment since AbI was four feet Bbhigh
BbBig D is watching, I remember what he taught me, don't Ablet em see you Bbcry
   CmAnd you Ebstep to the BblineEb  
   GmAnd you Fstep to the Abline
BbTry to see your future from the Ebline
And you're Gmclinging to the notion you'll be Ffine
But the Abcircle's getting smaller all the EbtimeAb  Bb  
BbTry to see your future from the Ebline
And you're Gmclinging to the notion you'll be Ffine
But the Abcircle's getting smaller all the EbtimeAb  Bb  
BbDry mouth, push it out, I can hear my heart pound, a Abhero's what I'm Bbnot
BbVoices scream, flashes flare, frozen as the people stare, my Abcrucifixion Bbshot
   CmAnd you Ebstep to the BblineEb  
   GmAnd you Fstep to the Abline
BbTry to see your future from the Ebline
And you're Gmclinging to the notion you'll be Ffine
But the Abcircle's getting smaller all the EbtimeAb  Bb  
BbTry to see your future from the Ebline
And you're Gmclinging to the notion you'll be Ffine
But the Abcircle's getting smaller all the EbtimeAb  Bb
