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

[Verse 3]
Fm G# D# C#
the sun goes black as the cello plays
Fm G# D# C#
the kind of cinematic swell that makes the critics say
Fm G# D# C#
if only-yyy we had made
Fm G# D# C#
something out of nothing before a quiet grave
Fm G# D# C#
something out of nothing before a quiet grave
[Chorus]
Fm G# D# C#
I-ii-iiii shot him down
Fm G# D# C#
two knocks at the door and he hit the ground
Fm G# D# C#
one last breath, well i suppose
Fm G# D# C#
and the beat goes (x4) (fading) (end on the G)
