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