[D] _ I [G] saw a [Bm] man,

[A] Mercy,
ain't _ [D] no sense,

[D] That's the barrel of the sky I hold.
I would pull [A] the trigger,
if [D] _ I was _ _ older, _

[G] So [D] _ _ _ many medals,
[A] so many _ praises. _ _
[G] _ [D] _ _ Nothing can take [A] away the guilt

[G] that [D] caught me dead _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em]

I [A] don't even [Em] cry [D] to my ears.
I'm not sure I'm so desired,
but I find [A] a way to [Em] stop this love.
[D] My universe is coming back again.
It's coming back again.
I'm bound to [G] spit [A] it out.
