[G]   [C] [Am] [Am7]

And we couldn't s[G]weep
The g[C]hosts out of our
[Am]one bedroom apar[Am7]tment
So we pa[G]cked a[C]ll our thi[Am]ngs
Or we [Am7]left them in some g[G]arage
And I[C] knew two d[Am]isappointed [Am7]men
In your fathers [G]eyes
And my f[C]ather ar[Am]ms  [Am7]

And I knew that[C] I could [Am]make
Some [C]lame refere[Am]nce
To Socrates or, o[C]r e[G]ven Sar[C]tre

[Am]But I [C]left the gun on my[Am] hip
And s[C]hot right f[Am7]rom the h[G]eart

If you, [G]If you c[C]url up
And [Am]bury your [F]face into the [G]carpet
In that [C]bedroom of that [Am]one bedroom a[F]partment
You will [G]see a [C]7 year old bo[Am]y
And he's scr[F]eaming out screaming out screaming out    [G]

[G]Here is [C]your grandfathers[Am] gun
The one he u[Am7]sed to end his t[G]ime here

[G]Will you tell the [C]ambulance
That I[Am] am not re[Am7]ady to go
[G]Strike two, s[C]weet chari[Am]ot   [Am7]
Coming [G]forth d[C]irect my h[Am]ome  [Am7]
I am [G]sorry you k[C]now
I[Am] never meant to h[Am7]urt you but I di[G]d
Strike t[C]wo, swing l[Am]ow
[Am7]Coming slowly [G]forth
To [C]carry us all h[Am]ome
[Am7]But not ton[G]ight
Their k[C]nocking down my [Am]door
Their c[Am7]utting me a[G]way
[C]One last [Am]look  [Am7]                     [G]
