I know it’s hard some[D]times.
[G]Yeah I think about the end just [Am]way too [Em]much.

We have a list of people [Am]that we would take
A [Em]bullet for them, a bullet for you
A bullet for every[C]body in this room

[verse 3]
But I [G]don’t seem to see many bullets coming through
See many [Am]bullets coming through
[Em]Metaphorically I’m the man
But literally I don’t [D]know what I’d do

[verse 4]
“I’d [G]live for you,” and that’s hard to do
Even harder to say when you [Am]know it’s not true
Even [Em]harder to write when you know that tonight
There were people back home who tried [C]talking to you

[verse 5]
But then [G]you ignored them still
All these questions they’re for [Am]real
Like who would you [Em]live for? Who would you die for?
And would you ever [D]kill?
