Verse
B G#m
All I wanna do is shoot guns
B G#m
Throw me in jail or a cemetery
F# E
I got money for commissary
B G#m
All I need is that, "Oh, he died too young"
B G#m
'Cause I don’t smile when I'm not high
F# E
And I keep smiling all the time
[Pre-Chorus]
B G#m F#
If I have to die someday, let it be gunfire
E B G#m
And I will go 'til I run tired
F# E
And toast to that and raise this blunt higher
B
But lord, don’t you let me die
B G#m
No, not in an easy way
[Chorus]
B G#m
Let me go out like a youngster
F# E
Taking drugs, that's how we escape
B
Let it be gunshots or plane crashes
G#m F# E
Just when I thought it was a safe passage
B G#m F#
Or let me go out in flames or a straight jacket
E G#m
But Lord, don't let me go the easy way
F# E B
Oh, not in an easy way
[Verse 2]
B G#m
My life fits on digital scales
B G#m F# E
Convictions so violent, they know nothing about physical selves
B G#m F#
But if I slip up I already got two strikes
B G#m
See my face out on the news
F# E
Dodgin' bullets and blue lights
[Pre-Chorus]
B G#m
If I have to die someday, let it be gunfire
B G#m
And I will try to sit upright
F# E
And blow my smoke at the sunlight
B
But Lord, don't you let me die
G#m F#
No, not in a simple way
[Chorus]
B G#m
Let me go out like the gangsters
F# E
Kill and be killed in a single day
B G#m
Let it be gunshots or plane crashes
F# E
Just when I thought it was a safe passage
B G#m F#
Or let me go out in flames or a straight jacket
E G#m
But Lord, don't let me go the simple way
F# E B
Oh, not in a simple way
[Outro]
B G#m
All I wanna do is shoot guns
B G#m
Throw me in jail or a cemetery
F# E B
I got money for commissary, yeah
