E Ebm
We woke up as men but

tonight we'll sleep as killers

As we break the cryptic

morning with a bullet
Ebm G#m
and a prayer The steel never seemed
more cold and agile than now
F#
And life never seems less vital
E Ebm
and fragile With a heart
G#m--C#m--G#m--Ebm--
Chorus:
Ebm
with a heart
that's beating louder
B
than my own I watch a

woman they call Kezia I watch a
woman that I know I watch my
hopes and my own
B
future blindfolded
G#m F# C#/F
To atone for a sin I didn't care
B
for, but a sin that paid my debts A
F# C#/F
sin that fed my children and
B
burned my smiles and

static lifetime starve to death my own
Ebm C# Ebm
mistakes Pull the screaming trigger and watch your
C# B Ebm

gun, drop the gun, drop the gun, drop the gun
