[Intro]
E5 Bsus4 C#m7 Asus2 B11/A Asus2
E5 Bsus4 C#m7 Asus2 B11/A Asus2
 
 
[Verse 1]
E5            Bsus4               C#m7      Asus2 B11/A
    She had a face straight out a magazine
E5           Bsus4            C#m7  Asus2     B11/A Asus2
    God only knows but you'll never leave her
E5          Bsus4    C#m7              Asus2 B11/A Asus2
    Her balaclava is starting to chafe
             E5                 Bsus4          C#m7        Asus2     B11/A   Asus2
And when she gets his gun, he's begging, 'Babe stay, stay,   stay'
 
 
[Chorus]
              E5          Bsus4
'I'll give you one more time
              C#m7        Asus2
We'll give you one more fight
     E5        Bsus4
Said one more line
    C#m7         Asus2 E5 (arpeggio)
Will I know you?
 
 
[Verse 2]
E5            Bsus4               C#m7        Asus2 B11/A Asus2
   Now if you never shoot, you'll never know
E5            Bsus4             C#m7        Asus2 B11/A
   And if you never eat, you'll never grow
E5              Bsus4          C#m7        Asus2
   You've got a pretty kind of dirty face
               E5                      Bsus4          C#m7       Asus2    B11/A   Asus2
And when she's leaving your home she's begging you to stay stay,   stay
 
 
[Chorus] (Chords change here)
              C#m7        Asus2
'I'll give you one more time
              E5          Bsus4
We'll give you one more fight
     C#m7      Asus2
Said one more line
                          E5           Bsus4
There'll be a riot, 'cause I know you'
 
 
[Bridge]
F#m7add11
  Well now that you've got your gun
Bsus4*
  It's much harder now the police have come
F#m7add11
  And I'll shoot him if it's what you ask
Bsus4*
  But if you'd just take off your mask
C#m7             Bsus4               Asus2    B11/A (arpeggio)
  You'd find out   everything's gone   wrong
E5                Bsus4
   Now everybody's dead
      C#m7                 Asus2
And they're driving past my old school
E5                      Bsus4
   And he's got his gun,  he's got his suit on
C#m7                Asus2       E5      Bsus4
   She says, 'Babe,    you look so cool'
 
 
[Outro]
     C#m7  Asus2
You look     so cool
         E5           Bsus4  C#m7 Asus2
You look so coo-oo-oo-ool
         E5   Bsus4        C#m7       Asus2
You look so cool, you look   so cool
         E5           Bsus4  C#m7 Asus2
You look so coo-oo-oo-ool
 
[Ending] (arpeggio)
