Hey, this is a great song, very simple and easy. Tuning is standard.
I tried to be accurate with chord placement but figure out exact
timing by listening to the song. all chords should be standard bar
chords. if you prefer using open chords just plug in "transpose
down a half step" at the top, capo the first fret, and then play
all chords relative to the capo. where it says "palm mute" strum
the chord once and immediately mute all strings. here it goes.

Verse 1:
D# A#
Miss Jones taught me English
G# Fm
But I think I just shot her son
D# A#
'Cause he owed me money
G# Fm
With a bullet in the chest you cannot run
D# A#
Now he's bleeding in a vacant lot
G# Fm
The one in the summer where we used to smoke pot
D# A#
I guess I didn't mean it
G# Fm
But man, you shoulda seen it
A# (palm mute)
His flesh explode
Chorus:
D# A# Fm G#
Slow motion see me let go
G#
We tend to die young
D# A# Fm G#
Slow motion see me let go
G#
What a brother knows
D# A# Cm
Slow motion see me let go (G#*)
Verse 2:
D# A#
Now the cops will get me
G# Fm
But girl, if you would let me
D# A#
I'll take your pants off
G# Fm
I got a little bit of blow we could both get off
D# A#
Later bathing in the afterglow
G# Fm
Two lines of coke I cut with Drano
D# A# G# (palm mute)
And her nose starts to bleed
(no chord)
A most beautiful ruby red
Chorus:
D# A# Fm G#
Slow motion see me let go
G#
We'll remember these days
D# A# Fm G#
Slow motion see me let go
G#
Urban life decays
D# A# Cm
Slow motion see me let go
(A#) G#
And at home
Bridge:
G# A#
My sister's eating paint chips again
Cm G#
Maybe that's why she's insane
G# A#
I shut the door to her moaning
Cm
And I shoot smack in my veins
Cm
Wouldn't you?
G# A# Fm
See my neighbor's beating his wife
Fm
Because he hates his life
G#
There's an arc to his fist as he swings
A# Cm
Oh man, what a beautiful thing
A#
And death slides close to me
Cm A# (palm mute)
Won't grow old to be
(no chord)
A junkie wino creep
Verse 3:
D# A#
Hollywood glamorized my wrath
G# Fm
I'm a young urban psychopath
D# A#
I incite murder
G# Fm
For your entertainment
D# A#
'Cause I needed the money
G# Fm (palm mute)
What's your excuse?
(no chord)
The joke's on you
Final Chorus:
D# A# Fm G#
Slow motion see me let go
G#
Oh yeah
D# A# Fm G#
Slow motion see me let go
G#
I...
D# A# Cm A#
Slow motion see me let go
end on D#
