Repeat pattern through verse
[Verse]
F5 C A# D5 C5
I'm not gonna climb
F5 C A# D5 C5
A# ladder for the rest of my life
F5 C A# D5 C5
Said that and stood back
F5 C A# D5 C5
And you walked away before they could react
D5 C5 A#5
Hearing catcalls from police cars
A#5 F C5 D5
And they say "What you gonna do about it dressed the way you are?"
D5 C5 A#
There's a very common lie
A# F C5
They say you're asking for it when you're walking home alone at night
[Chorus]
F5 E6 D5 C5
They say the only thing that stops a bad man with a gun
A#5 F
is a good man with a gun
D5 C5
The lies they scare in you
F5 E6 D5 C5
The only thing that stops a bad man with a gun
A#5 F
is a good man with a gun
D5 C5 F5
The lies they use to control you
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
F5 C A# D5
So you turn and walked away
C5 F5 C A# D5 C5
Forgot everything they taught you till that day
F5 C A# D5
And started arguing eloquently
C5 F5 C A# D5 C5
As to whether jet fuel could melt steel beams
D5 C5 A#5
Hearing catcalls from a construction yard
A#5 F C5
They'll say "Take it as a compliment, they're only being nice"
D5 C5 A#
There's a far too common lie
F C5
And you carry keys between your knuckles when you walk alone at night
[Chorus]
F5 E6 D5 C5
They say the only thing that stops a bad man with a gun
A#5 F
is a good man with a gun
D5 C5
The lies they sell to you
F5 E6 D5 C5
The only thing that stops a bad man with a gun
A#5 F
is a good man with a gun
D5 C5 F5
The lies they use to control you
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
F5 E6 D5 C5
It's the trophy wives raising trophy wives raising children on TV
C5 F5 F
Scared of people like you and me
F D5 C5
Just don't ask questions you'll sleep peacefully
C5 F5 E6 D6 C5
We will not go out in silence and we will not go quietly
C5 F5 F
Nah jet fuel can't melt steel beams, I've watched enough
D5 C5
Conspiracy documentaries, yeah
[Chorus]
F5 E6 D5 C5
The only thing that stops a bad man with a gun
A#5 F
is a good man with a gun
D5 C5
The lies they use to control you
F5 E6 D5 C5
The only thing that stops a bad man with a gun
A#5 F
is a good man with a gun
D5 C5 F5 C A#
The lies they use to control you
D5 C5 F5 C A# D5 C
Use to control you
