*I'm very sorry if the chords aren't in the exact place. I think that these chords work

too :D*

I'll give him one more time,

G             D                            Em7       Cadd9
 And if you never eat you'll never grow

 When you're leaving your home,

She's begging you to stay, stay, stay, stay, stay.

I'll give him one more time,

We'll give him one more fight,

Said one more line,
                       Em7      Cadd9
They'll be a riot cause I know you.
 
G     D
 Well now that you've got your gun
Em7           Cadd9
   It's much harder now the police have come
G     D
 Now shoot him if it's what you ask
Em7           Cadd9
 But if you just take off your mask
G               D            Em7   Cadd9
Stummed once per chord.
 You find out, everything's gone wrong
 
G                D
 Now everybody's dead
      Em7                     Cadd9
And they're driving past my old school
G
He's got his gun
D
He's got his suit on          
Em7           Cadd9           G
And she says "Babe, you look so cool
D         Em7
 you look so cool, 
Cadd9
you look so 
G          D      Em7      Cadd9
cooooooooool.
 
G       D     Em7 Cadd9
You look so cool, you look so cool,
 
you look so coooooooooool.
