I took a shuttle on a shockwave ride
      A5            F#5          Db5         F#5
Where people on the pen pull the trigger for accolades
A5       C#5          F#5      C#5
I took a bullet and i looked inside
     A5                 F#5       D5      F#5
And  running through my veins an American masquerade
