[F] [G] [F] [Bb]
[F] [G] [Bb]
[Dm] [G] [F] [Bb]
This [Dm] life [G] surrounds [F] you, [Bb]
[F] guns [G] are [Dm] loaded.
[Bb]
This kind of tension, hard not [Dm] to [G] [Bb] notice.
Ride, ride, do what you're told.
Do [Dm] what [G] you're told.
Gotta [Bb] keep your eyes, [G] keep your eyes [Bb] on this long [Dm] narrow [G] road.
A [E]
little [G] bit too high, [E]
a little bit [G] too low.
[Bb] Get a little bit out of line, my baby won't [G] make it home.
[F]
[Bb]
Poor kid, [G] they caught him [Bb]
[Dm] without his [G] [F] license.
[Gm] That ain't why they shot him, they [F] say he was [G] fighting.
[Bb]
[Dm] So, [G] [Dm] that's what [Bb] we're told.
That's what we're told.
But we all know, [Dm] we all know, that [Bb] ain't how the [Dm] story [G] [F] goes.
[Bb]
High, [F] [Gm] a little bit too high.
A little bit too [Dm] bold.
[Bb]
A little bit out of [G] line.
[E] Now my baby won't [G] make it home.
[F]
[G] [Bb]
[F] [Bb]
[F] [Gm]
Poor life surrounds you, hard [Dm] not to [G] notice.
[Bb]
[G] Pay attention [Bb] to the [Dm] path [Bb] before us.
A little bit too high, a little bit too low.
A little bit [G] out of line, my baby won't make it home.

[F] [Gm]
You feel surrounded, maybe [F] you're [G] [Bb] confused.
Maybe [Dm] you're confounded, [Bb]
what is there to [G] do?
[E]
A little bit [Gm] from you, a little bit [G] from me.
[E]
Simple [G] as it gets, [E] we set each [G] other free.
[F]
[G]
[C]
[G]
[Bb]
[Dm] [Bb] A little bit, [Dm] a little [Bb] bit, a little bit [Dm] from you, [Bb] a little bit from me.
Simple [F] as it [Gm] gets, we [Bb]
set each [G] other free.
