	        Em Bm Am (in rhythm with the bass) 

Em (palm mute)                 Bm (Bend down entire chord) 
Well, the crooks are out 
And the streets are gray 
You know I wouldn't have it 
Any other way, yeah 

Em (palm mute)                 Bm (Bend down entire chord) 
Your mother's words 
They're, they're ringing still 
But your mother 
Don't pay our bills, yeah 

Em              Bm   Am   Em 
A sinister kid, is a kid who 
Em                 Bm   Am   Em 
Runs to meet his maker 
Em                         Bm   Am   Em 
A drop dead sprint from the day he's born 
Em              Bm   Am   Em 
Straight into his makers arms 

Em                Bm   Am   Em 
And that's me, that's me 
Em                          Bm   Am   Em 
The boy with the broken halo 
Em                   Bm   Am   Em 
That's me, that's me 
Em                       Bm   Am   Em 
The devil won't let me be 

Em (palm mute)                 Bm (Bend down entire chord) 
I got a tortured mind 
And my blade is sharp 
A bad combination 
In the dark 

Em (palm mute)                 Bm (Bend down entire chord) 
If I kill a man 
In the first degree 
Baby, would you 
Would you flee with me?
