Intro
Cm D# A# G# (x4)
[Verse 1]
Cm D# A# G#
cold fire tonight and head slow
Cm D# A# G#
ironed eyes and lead to hide the gallows
Cm D# A# G#
the crowd’s stoned out on
Cm D# A# G#
bottles in the back and the red rope
Cm D# A# G#
bottles in the back and the red rope
[Chorus]
Cm D# A# G#
I-ii-iiii shot him down
Cm D# A# G#
two knocks at the door and he hit the ground
Cm D# A# G#
one last breath, well i suppose
Cm D# A# G#
and the beat goes (x4)
[Interlude]
Cm D# A# G# (x2)
[Verse 2]
Cm D# A# G#
on broken strangers filled with blind hope
Cm D# A# G#
perched the thing with feathers made of red smoke
Cm D# A# G#
as the sun bleeds down on
Cm D# A# G#
all the tangled rivers and the loaded guns
Cm D# A# G#
all the tangled rivers and the loaded guns
[Chorus]
Cm D# A# G#
I-ii-iiii shot him down
Cm D# A# G#
two knocks at the door and he hit the ground
Cm D# A# G#
one last breath, well i suppose
Cm D# A# G#
and the beat goes (x3)
[Interlude]
Cm D# A# G# (x2)
[Verse 3]
Cm D# A# G#
the sun goes black as the cello plays
Cm D# A# G#
the kind of cinematic swell that makes the critics say
Cm D# A# G#
if only-yyy we had made
Cm D# A# G#
something out of nothing before a quiet grave
Cm D# A# G#
something out of nothing before a quiet grave
[Chorus]
Cm D# A# G#
I-ii-iiii shot him down
Cm D# A# G#
two knocks at the door and he hit the ground
Cm D# A# G#
one last breath, well i suppose
Cm D# A# G#
and the beat goes (x4) (fading) (end on the G)
