[Intro]
 
Em F#m G C
 
 
[Verse]
 
Em      F#m       G
Send away for a priceless gift
             C
One not subtle, one not on the list
Em     F#m        G
Send away for a perfect world
            C
One not simply, so absurd
Em      F#m       G
In these times of doing what you're told
            C
You keep these feelings, no one knows
 Am                       Em
What ever happened to the young man's heart
Am                     G    F#m     Em
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em                                  D
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
         C
Swimming through the ashes of another life
Em                    D
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
C                       Am
Staring down the barrel of a 45
 
 
[Verse]
 
Send a message to the unborn child
Keep your eyes open, for a while
In a box high up on the shelf, left for you, no one else
There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight
 
What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em                                  D
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
         C
Swimming through the ashes of another life
Em                    D
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
C                       Am
Staring down the barrel of a 45
 
 
[Bridge]
 
           Bm                   C
Everyone's pointing their fingers
Bm                    C
Always condemning me
         Bm         C          Em F#m G
And nobody knows what I believe
 
I believe
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em                                  D
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
         C
Swimming through the ashes of another life
Em                    D
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
C                       Am
Staring down the barrel of a 45
