Break It To Them Gently

[A]  [D]  [A]  [D]

Break it to them g[A]ently when you tell my mom a[F#m]nd dad
When you see my baby [Bm]sister, be as kind as you [Esus4]can     [E]
Break it to my gran[A]dma, said that boy?s wi[F#m]ld and bad
Break it to them ge[Bm]ntly when you tell ?em
That I [E]won?t be coming home agai[A]n

Cause I?m [D]runnin? with a gun and it isn?t any fun as a [A]fugitive
F[D]ightin? for my life and I don?t know if I?ll make it [A]alone
R[D]unnin? with a gun and it isn?t any fun as a f[A]ugitive
God I wanna go [F#m]home, lord I wish I was [A]home

[D]  [A]  [D]

When you see my l[A]ady with the twinkle in her [F#m]eyes
Tell it to her s[Bm]oftly and hold her if she c[Esus4]ries   [E]
Tell her that I lo[A]ve her and I will till the[F#m] day I die
Tell it to her g[Bm]ently when you tell her
That I wo[E]n?t be coming home aga[A]in

[E]I got in too deep with s[A]trangers
[E]Thinkin? they could help me find my[A] way
[D]Nobody warned me of the [A]dangers
And it?s a[F#m]lways the young and foolish that have to[Bm] pay [E]

So break it to them [A]gently when you tell my[F#m] mom and dad
Thank them for the[Bm] good years and all the lovin? tha[Esus4]t I had [E]
Break it to my g[A]randma who said the boy is w[F#m]ild and bad
Break it to them [Bm]gently when you tell them
That I [E]won?t be coming home [A]again

I?m[D] runnin? with a gun and it isn?t any fun as a [A]fugitive
[D]Fightin? for my life and I don?t know if I?ll make it al[A]one
[D]Runnin? with a gun and it isn?t any fun as a [A]fugitive
Lord I wanna g[F#m]o home, lord I wanna go hom[A]e

You gotta break it to them [D]gently
Break it to them gent[A]ly
You gotta break it to them gently[D]
Gotta really try to roll[A] ?em
You gotta break it to them gently   [D]
Gotta really try to soot[A]h them
Gotta really try to so[D]oth them
Gotta really try to roll[A] them
