Dm7Simple walk to the Ccorner storeFmaj7
Mama never thought she would be gettin' a Dm7call from theC coroneFmaj7r
Said her son's been Dm7gunned down, been gunned doCwn
"Can you comeF now?"
Tears in her eyes, "Can you calm dowGm7n?
Please, ma'am, Fcan you calm Bbdown?C"
But it rained Dm7fire in the city that dCay, they say F
A river of Dm7blood in the streetsC
No Flove in the streets
And then came Dm7silence in the city that dCay, they sayF
Just another one gonBbe
And they tell her move Con
And she's stuck there, singing
F7"Baby, don't you close your Bbeyes
'Cause Bbmthis could be our Ffinal time
And Gyou know I'm horriCble at saying Fgoodbye
And F7I think of all you Bbcould have done
At Bbmleast you'll stay Fforever young
I gGuess you picked the Cperfect way to Fdie
Oh, I Gguess you picked the Cperfect way toF die"
Dm7New job, new Ccity, new hFer
Dm7Bright-eyed, you wCould have been proud if you kFnew her
Flashing lights in the mirror, pull Dm7over, Cpull overF
A couple nights in detention and it's Gm7over, a whole Flife's Bbover C
They came Dm7marching in the city that Cday, they sFmaj7ay
Carryin' Dm7signs in the streetCs
Cryin' Feyes in the streets
But they heard Dm7nothing from the city that dCay, they saFy
Just another one Bbgone
And the city moved Con
We're stuck here singing
F7"Baby, don't you Bbclose your eyes
Bbm'Cause this could be our Ffinal time
GAnd you know I'm horriCble at saying goodFbye
I'llF7 think of all you Bbcoulda done
At Bbmleast you'll stay Fforever young
I Gguess you picked the Cperfect way to Fdie
Oh, I Gguess you picked theC perfect way to Fdie"
Another Dm7dream lostC
Another F7king and queen Bblost
Another broken promise they refuse to make Fright C
Oh, another Dm7night to live in Cfear
Oh, another F7night that you're not Bbhere
Another reason to get out thereEsus and fCight
But I said, F7"Baby, don't you Bbclose your eyes
'Cause Bbmthis could be our Ffinal time
And you Gknow I'm horrCible at saying Fgoodbye
But I'll F7think of all you Bbcoulda done
At lBbmeast you'll stay Fforever young
I Gguess you picked the Cperfect way to Fdie
Oh, I Gguess you picked theC perfect way..."
