Verse 1:
And he C#msaw her gBmoing Amout G#mto the cC#minema...tA7onight
When she C#mtold sBmhe'd prAmobably be sG#mtaying in aC#mgain...to rA7evise

The lick of the clip disturbed the air tC#monight
Verse 2:

It's cC#mlear the jBmury tAmhink the dG#moubt is mC#minimal...she's to bA7lame
Was it a pasG#7sionate crime, a rush to the head
Or did she plot to shoot him down in fC#mlames?
Chorus:
'Coz IA7've killed KG#7ennedys, C#mKings and Tsars

He plans to run to Timbuktu tC#monight
