[Verse 1]
[Am]Jimmy [C]got nothing made him[Am]self [C]a name
With a gun that he polished
for a rainy day
[Am]A smile [C]and [Am]a quote [C]from
a [Am]vigil[C]ante [Am]movie[C]
[Am]Our [C]boy Jimmy
Just blew [Am]them all [C]away[Dm]

He said it made him crazy
[Dm]Twenty five years living [Am]hand to [C]mouth
[Am]Hand [C]to [Am]mouth, [C]han[Am]d to [C]mouth,

[Am]Hand to mouth, hand to mouth,

I [F]believe in the Gods of [Em]America

That the [Am]Gods believe in nothing
So with [G]empty hands I pray
And from [Em]day to hopeless day

[Am]Every[C]body talks about
[Am]the new generation
[C]Jump [Am]on th[C]e wagon

the [Am]rest [C]of the nation
Like [Am]to he[C]lp you buddy but I

[Dm]Kept on living from [Am]hand to mouth
Hand [C]to [Am]mouth, [C]han[Am]d to mouth,
[C]han[Am]d to mouth[F]

[Verse 10]
So she [F]ran to the arms of [Em]America
[F]America, America
And she kissed the powers [Em]that be
And [Dm]someone told me
Someone told me
That the [Am]Gods believe in nothing
So with [G]empty hands I pray
[Em]And I tell myself one day
They just might [Am]see me...[C][Am][C][Am]
They just [C]might [Am]see [C]me..[Am].
