Chorus/bridge
Em7            Cadd9 D           G
All around is anger,  automatic guns

Death in large numbers no respect for women or our little ones

Tried talking to Jesus but he just put me on hold

Said he'd been swamped by calls this week

And he could not shake his coooooooooooold

When you've given up the drink and those nasty cigarettes
Cadd9               D      Em7                   Dsus  D
Now leave the party early at least with no regrets
Cadd9              D           Em7                    Dsus  D
I watch the sun as it comes up I watch it as it sets

She is one sexy girl - full of mystery
Cadd9                D       Em7                Dsus  D
