[Intro]

Em Em Em Em

[Verse]

Em B

Walking south along the river

B Em

Never had he found that twist of pleasure

Em B

Remembering times when they were younger

B Em

Setting the town on fire

Am G D G

And watching as his fellow friends, Fell apart in the wake

Am Em B Em F#7 Em F#7

Claiming it was all just a mistake, When his finger pulled the trigger

Em B Em Em

And he shot everyone

[Instrumental]

Em B B Em

Am G D G

Am Em B Em

Em F#7

It was all just a mistake

B Em Em

When he shot everyone

[Verse]

Em B

Nothing will stand in the way

B Em

When hunger hasn't eaten for days

Em B

Scrounges around where ends meet

B Em

And disappears into the fray

Am G B G

He hopes for awhile he'll reconcile with the pain that never dies

Am Em B Em

The ghosts of his family constantly, Gnawing at his insides

Am G D G

He pulls out a worn photo, And an old handmade gun

Am Em B Em Em F#7 Em F#7

Wishes it was he who was frying, When he set the whole town on fire

Em F#7

He walks off crying

Em B Em

He shot everyone
