_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
Simple [C] walk to the corner store
[F] _ Mama never thought you would [Dm] be getting a call from the [C] corner
_ [F] Said her son's been gunned down, [Dm] been gunned [C] down
Can you [F] calm now?
Tears in her eyes, can [Gm] you calm down?
_ [F] Please ma'am, can you [Bb] calm down?
[C] _
But [Dm] it rained fire in the city [C] that day [F] They say
_ _ _ [Dm] Blood in the [C] streets, _ [F] no love in the streets
And then [Dm] came silence in the [C] city that day They [F] say
Another [Bb] one gone, _ and they tell her [C] move on
_ She's stuck there singing, [Ab] baby [Bb] don't you close your eyes
[Bbm] This could be [F] our final [G] time
And you know I'm [C] horrible at [F] saying goodbye _ _
But I think of all [Bb] you could've [Bbm] done
At least you'll [F] stay forever young
[G] I guess you [C] picked the perfect [F] way to die
_ Oh, [G] I guess you [C] picked the perfect way [F] to die _
_ [Dm] _ New [C] job, new city, [F] new her
_ _ Bright [Dm] eyes, you [C] would've been proud if you [F] knew her
Flashing lights in the [Dm] mirror pull over, [C] _ [F] pull over
A couple nights in [Gm] detention and it's over
Her [F] whole [Bb] life's over
[C] And they [Dm] came marching in [C] the city that day [F] They say
_ _ [Dm] Carrying signs in the [C] streets, _ [F] crying eyes in the streets
But [Dm] they heard nothing from the [C] city that day [F] They say
Another [Bb] one gone, and the city [C] moved on
We're stuck here [F] singing, baby [Bb] don't you close your eyes
[Bbm] _ _ [F] Final time, [G] and you know I'm [C] horrible at [F] saying goodbye
All _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] you could've done, [Bbm] at least you'll stay [F] forever young
[G] I guess you [C] picked the perfect way [F] to die _
Oh, [G] I guess you picked [C] the perfect [F] way to die
_ Another [Dm] dream [C] lost, _
[F] another king and queen [Bb] lost
Another [Eb]
broken [Bb] promise they refused to make [F] right
Another _
[C] _ [Dm] night to live [C] in fear
[F] Oh, another night that you're [Bb] not here
[Eb] Another reason to get up there [Db] and fight
_ [C] _ [F] But I say, baby [Bb] don't you close your eyes
[Bbm] This could be our [F] final time
[G] And you know I'm [C] horrible at saying goodbye
_ But [N] I'll think of all you [A] could've done
[Bb] At least you'll stay [B] forever young
I guess [Ebm] you [Em] picked the perfect way to die
[Dm] _
Oh, [Ab] I guess you picked the perfect way
