Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Did[C] you ever kill anyone?
Not [G]exactly.
Day was hot, too hot [F]for [G]fun
Not getting to shade when
21 in the sun
Boarding down to a [F]job interview
[G]Unemployed, no that's not new
[C]At [G]Red Lig[F]ht, Pico, Fairfax,
let [G]homeless drunk in [F]my path
[G]Wrinkled fac[F]e, big beard and belly,
[G]peacefully passed out, [F]kinda [D]smelly
Di[G]nosaur [F]breath, vine -like snore,
[G]dreams all night, [F]liquor stores
[D]Roasting[G] like Chr[F]istmas turkey[C],
[G]soon to become a stick of [D]hobo [G]jerk
The day [F]was high, [G]the day was [F]high, [G]the day [F]was high,
[C]the [G]day was hig[F]h, the day[G] was hig[Bm]h
Too [G]high for fun[Abm],
98 [Bm]in the shade with 21 in the sun
Could've saved his life,
knew that I could
Should've saved his life,
knew that I should
But someone else will help,
got time [G]to kill
[Bm]Gotta get this job, gotta ring my bells
The day was high, the day was [G]high for
three was 2 .15 time enough to be
Samaritan don't get involved,
thought ain't my busi[F]ness
[G]but what of my fault?
God be my witness
[C]cou[G]ld've dragged him out[F] of the sun[D]
in[G]to the shade,
some nearby shrub[D]s
[G]someone will help, got time [F]to kill
[G]gotta get this job to pay my bills
light turn green, I'm on my way but big belly drunk,
not a good day
the job, the job, the job
[F]I've been tak[C]ing it [G]been for
nothing that I've been baking
The day [F]was hot, [G]the day was hot
[F]The[G] day was[F] hot,[C][G]
[F]The [Bm]day was hot, too hot for fun
Night reading and shaving,
21 in the sun
Could've saved his life,
you knew that I could
Should've saved his life,
you knew that I should
But someone else who helped
got time to kill
Gotta get this job to pay [G]my [Bm]bills
The day was [G]hot
Hour later, [F]back the corner,
[G]now taped off a yellow border
In the middle, [D]man's still [F]asleep,
[G]but now his snores and dreams [F]ceased
[G]He done run out of his[F] life's lea[G]se[F]
And [G]while I [Ab]dazed and [G]confused, [C]stop,
they [G]put him in a truck and haul him off
Like a dead dog with no [F]tag,
[C]nameles[G]s, fairy, and vag[Ab]abond rag
His [G]old leather face I will [F]never forget
[G]Another debit on my car, [C]mcdead[G]
[F]The day[G] was hot[F]
[G]Missed my cue, [F]life to save
Got [G]big belly, drunk, not a good day
[F]The day [G]was hot
[F]The [G]day was hot
[F]The [G]day was hot
[F]The [G]day was hot
[F]The [G]day was [F]hot
[Bm]The day was hot, too hot f[G]or fun,
[Bm]98 in the shade, 21 in the sun
Couldn't save Tim's life,
didn't mean that I could
Shouldn't save Tim's life,
didn't mean that I should
Someone else who felt got time to kill
Gotta get this job, to pay my bills
The day was hot
The day was hot
The sound is too agressive for me
