[Verse 1]
EmPaint the target
EmWe don't need no evidence
GFlood the market
We A4do it all in selDsus2f defense
EmYou're a smart kid
EmNever work without your gloves
If Gyou're a smart kid
You'll A4stay the hell Dsus2away from love
[Pre-Chorus]
And A4if it comes to murder
Don't Ctell and we won't
[Chorus]
EmAsk you how you A4sleep at night
When the Clights go out and you're Dsus2all alone
With A4all the ghosts of Clesser humans
Whose Emlives you've spilt to suiDsus2t your own
[Verse 2]
 Em(hold)
Sit and think of
EmAll the dollars and the cents
GAnd your blue blood
You'll A4see it all makeDsus2s perfect sense
EmDrink from this cup
EmA better life awaits us all
GYou're one of us
                A4                  Dsus2   A4(hold)
Remember conscience comes before the fall
[Bridge 1] Note: I like to strum the Em in a breakdown-ish pattern.. it can sound very cool.
EmYour actions all are justified
EmYour actions all are justified
[Pre-Chorus]
     A4(hold)
And if it comes to murder
       C(hold)
Don't tell and we won't
[Chorus]
EmAsk you how you A4sleep at night
When the Clights go out and you're Dsus2all alone
With A4all the ghosts of Clesser humans
Whose Emlives you've spilt to suiDsus2t your own
[Bridge 2]
Cause it's A4need Cto EmknowDsus2  
We don't A4need Cto EmknowDsus2  
We don't A4need Cto Emknow
At this point I play this chord progression into the outro.. I think it sounds pretty good.
Em Cmaj7 A4 Dsus2
[Outro]
Don't we Call know life is A4sacred?
                              C   Dsus2   D6/9   Em(hold)
Don't we all know we bleed the same red blood?
