[Chorus 1]
[D]I've got a gun[C] in my han[G]d
but that [D]gun won't [G]cock
My [C]finger's on the [G]trigger
but that [D]trigger seems [G]locked
I [C]can't stop [G]staring at the [D]tick tock [G]clock
And [C]even if I [G]could I would [D]never give [G]up

[Verse 1]
With a [C]vest on [G]my chest,
a [D]bullet in my [G]lung
I [C]can't believe I'm [G]dying with my [D]song un[G]sung
[C]If and when I [G]die won't you [D]bury me a[G]lone?
'Cause I'll [C]never get to [G]heaven
if I'm [D]singing this [G]song

[Verse 2]
[G]If there was something [D]wrong
would you be [C]oh so [G]strong?
Would you do what it takes
to [D]move this hollow [C]life along?
[G]I'd like to think I would, you kno[D]w
I'd like to [C]think I would
[G]But I guarantee
that [D]what you see is [C]not reality
[G]And every time I make a poi[D]nt,
she makes a [C]counterpoint
[G]She said it's easy but in [D]the end
you'll [C]have no [G]choice
And you know that's [D]only just the [C]way it [G]goes
You said it right man,
[D]that is just the [C]way it goes
[G]And the days, and the days
they seem like forever
[C]And[G] the days, and the days
they [C]seem like for[G]ever
But for[D]ever isn't [C]ever enough

[Verse 3]
[G]I'd like to sing a song
[D]Please swear you won[C]'t be long
[G]I'll try not to be long
but [D]I don't want to g[C]et this story w[G]rong
There was a kid
who never [D]cared about the [C]little things
[G]Don't even bother
because I'm [D]tired and I'm [C]sick of it
[G]And every time she makes a poi[D]nt
I'll make a [C]counterpoint
[G]She said It's easy but in [D]the end
you'll [C]have no [G]choice
And you know
that's [D]only just the [C]way that it [G]goes
You said it right man,
[D]that is just the [C]way it goes

[Verse 4]
[G]If I did something [D]right
Would you give [C]up this [G]fight?
Would you say you were wrong
and [D]maybe someone [C]else was kind of [G]right
I'd like to think you would
You [D]know I'd like to [C]think you would
[G]But I can't guarantee
that [D]what you get is [C]an apolo[G]gy
Jump back to the [D]day we [C]met
I [G]never thought that it would [D]end this [C]way
If [G]ever I let you [D]down I want to [C]ask of you
[G]To take it down a not[D]ch
and we can [C]talk it on [G]through
And the days, and the days
they seem like forever
[C]And[G] the days, and the days
they [C]seem like for[G]ever
But for[D]ever isn't [C]ever enough

[G]I'd like to sing a song

There was a kid
who never [D]cared about the [C]little things
[G]Don't even bother
because I [D]still don't [C]give a shit
[G]And every time she makes a poi[D]nt
I'll make a [C]counterpoint
[G]She said It's easy but in [D]the end
you'll [C]have no [G]choice
And you know
that's [D]only just the [C]way that it [G]goes
You said it right man,
[D]that is just the [C]way it goes

[Verse 6]
[G]So tell me friend, how's it [D]going to [C]end?
When the [G]shit goes down
and there's [D]no one left a[C]round
to get your [G]back
You'll crack, you'll [D]smile
and a[C]gree with every[G]thing they say
[D]They'll try to tel[C]l you that it's all[G] okay
[D][C][G]
But it's [G]not and you're shot
and you're [D]bleeding pretty [C]bad
And you [G]can't stop thinking
about the [D]things you never [C]had
Like a [G]wife and a kid
and the [D]things you never [C]did
You're [G]running around
You're living a life that's [D]empty in the [C]end,
my [G]friend[D][C]
[G][D][C]

[Bridge 1]
[A]No, you'll [C]take back all you've [G]said[D][C]
[G][D][C]
[A]Oh, when the [C]regrets fill [G]your [D]heart[C]
[G][D][C]
[A]Trust me I've been there before
[C]I would not wish it
[A]upon my greatest enemy
What [C]irony
Once friends, but I find

[Verse 7]
So I [C]waited by the [G]phone
but that [D]phone never [G]rang
And I [C]sang so [G]loud
so I [D]wouldn't hear the [G]bang
When the [C]bang never [G]came
and I [D]never got the [G]call
[C]Fuck you! [G]Thank you! I [D]love you [G]all!
[C]Some are going to [G]say
that we're [D]doomed to re[G]peat
All our [C]past mis[G]takes
Great
But [D]that's not [G]me
And [C]even if it [G]was I would [D]always disa[G]gree
Be[C]cause in the end I [G]always get the [D]better...

[Chorus 4]
I've got a [C]gun in my [G]hand

My [C]finger's on the [G]trigger
