[Intro]
Am F C G Em F
[Verse]
AmI came down here to sell the drugs you hFid beneath your bCed
I cGame down here to bEmend my crooked sFoul
And I wAmish you'd have the decency to tFell me what they sCaid
'Cause troGuble walks beEmside me, as you kFnow
[Chorus]
Oh and Amif I was a figChter, then a figFhter I would Cbe
But the mGore I fight, the mEmore I'm foFught
Oh and Amif I was a saiClor, I would sFail across the sCea
But the mGore I dream, the mEmore I know I'm nFot

AmThe cats upon the rooftops weep, the winFter stole the sunC  
The Ghour'ss come of Emwhich the poets Ffeed
And I gAmuess that I must stab the eye oFf someone who's in Ccharge

[Chorus]
Oh and Amif I was a paiCnter, I would paFint the snow Call green

AmWell, I guess that I could love you even Fwhen my heart is Cfaint
But GI did not come to Emkiss your brokeFn bones
You'll Amhear the sound of thunder traveFling through the wCind
The whistGleblower's coEmme to claim his hFome
[Chorus]
Oh and Amif I was a driCnker, I would drFink away the Cblue
But the mGore I drink, the tEmhirstier I Fget
Oh and Amif I was a runCner, I would rFun my way to youC  
But this Gtrouble's not gonnEma let me forgetF
