Verse
Gm A#
For all your escaping well
Eb A# F
I'd thought you would understand
Gm A#
That your fate's no replacement for
Eb A# F
The dollars which you have condemned
Gm A#
Take you to the rooftop
Eb A# F
they will lead you higher still
Gm A#
Take you to their wall and
Eb A# F
Tell their troops to fire at will
[Prechorus]
Gm A#
And it all goes around the river tonight
Eb A# F
Like a big talk magic man
Gm A#
Fool dont front take whatever you want
Eb A# F
You can get it for a couple of grams
[Chorus]
Gm A# Eb A# F
You take your chances while the sunlight sets
Gm A# Eb A# F
But no matter how ferocious that the gunfight gets
Gm A# Eb A# F
The promise land I hear is merely one ride west
Gm A#
haven't had the time to take but
Eb A# F
when the blood dries let's
[Chorus]
Gm A#
And it all goes around the river tonight
Eb A# F
Like a big talk magic man
Gm A#
Fool dont front take whatever you want
Eb A# F
You can get it for a couple of grams
Gm A#
And the sunlight spills on the heavenly hills
Eb A# F
But it puts no food in your hands
Gm A#
Spent a long long time on this money tonight
Eb
Well it's only midnight
Only midnight
A# A#7 D Gm A# Eb A# F

It's only midnight
