[Verse 1]
[G]I s[C]pent[G][Em]
[G]the day,
I spent my money making stories [Em]that scare me to death
[G]A million ways, a million worries,
you can count the [Em]days on your fingers
[Am]Listen mister, it's a [C]murder picture
[G]Sixteen times [D]coming
down on [Am]my head
[C]Six[G]teen times [D]coming down
on a [Am]dead man's chest
[C]Her[G]e lie the[D] bones,
all [Am]broken and dressed
[C]Sixtee[G]n times com[D]ing down
on my [C]head[Am][G][Em]
An[G]d I count the days, I count my blessings
A lesson that [Em]I learned when I was small
[G]But now through the days
I lost my confidence
My best de[Em]fense
Whatever it was
[Am]Listen, sister, it's a [C]murder, murder
Six[G]teen times [D]comin'
down on [Am]my head
[C]Six[G]teen times com[D]in' down
on a [Am]dead man's chest
[C]Here [G]lie the[D] bones,
all [Am]broken and blessed
[C]Six[G]teen -ton com[D]mander
on my [Am]head[C][D]
[G]You kno[C]w, you know, yea[D]h[G][C][D]
[G]You [C]know, you [D]know, [G]yeah[C]
Six[G]teen tarns [D]coming down on [Am]my head
[C]I s[G]pend the [D]day,
I spend my [Am]money making stories
[C]Hea[G]r a lot of [D]bones, all bro[Am]ken and flesh
[C]Sixtee[G]n tarns com[D]
ing down on my [C]head
Six[G]teen charts com[D]ing

[G]A lot of b[D]ones, all b[Am]roken into t[C]his
Six[G]teen charts [D]coming down
on my [Am]head[C]
