G#m B F# E (x4)
[Verse 1]
G#m B F# E
cold fire tonight and head slow
G#m B F# E
ironed eyes and lead to hide the gallows
G#m B F# E
the crowd’s stoned out on
G#m B F# E
bottles in the back and the red rope
G#m B F# E
bottles in the back and the red rope
[Chorus]
G#m B F# E
I-ii-iiii shot him down
G#m B F# E
two knocks at the door and he hit the ground
G#m B F# E
one last breath, well i suppose
G#m B F# E
and the beat goes (x4)
[Interlude]
G#m B F# E (x2)
[Verse 2]
G#m B F# E
on broken strangers filled with blind hope
G#m B F# E
perched the thing with feathers made of red smoke
G#m B F# E
as the sun bleeds down on
G#m B F# E
all the tangled rivers and the loaded guns
G#m B F# E
all the tangled rivers and the loaded guns
[Chorus]
G#m B F# E
I-ii-iiii shot him down
G#m B F# E
two knocks at the door and he hit the ground
G#m B F# E
one last breath, well i suppose
G#m B F# E
and the beat goes (x3)

G#m B F# E
the sun goes black as the cello plays
G#m B F# E
the kind of cinematic swell that makes the critics say
G#m B F# E
if only-yyy we had made
G#m B F# E
something out of nothing before a quiet grave
G#m B F# E
something out of nothing before a quiet grave
[Chorus]
G#m B F# E
I-ii-iiii shot him down
G#m B F# E
two knocks at the door and he hit the ground
G#m B F# E
one last breath, well i suppose
G#m B F# E
and the beat goes (x4) (fading) (end on the G)
