Intro: Am Dm Am E

Verse:

We were sittinʼ at the party drinkinʼ heavy
                             Dm
Yellinʼ "belief in life after love"

We were so damn drunk
          Am                            E  Am
Doinʼ our best impressions of Cher that we could


Until someone said "Iʼd kill for more tequila"
                                          Dm
Another voice said "Fuck me, weʼre out of drugs!"
                          Am
In a moment of silence, I had an idea
               E        Am
Slowly started standing up

Dm G     C              D            Am
Oh, just let me use your car and Iʼll go

I didnʼt have money
                                                        Dm
But i knew my friend, he always kept a pistol in the car
                                  Am
So I parked down the street where no one would see me
                       E        Am
And walked into the gas station store

Chorus:
         Dm           Am
Yellinʼ "la la di da, donʼt start to cry
     C                              G
Just give me what I want, and Iʼll go
Dm                         Am
La la di da, put the money inside"
          E                        Am
ʼCause no one wants to die in a Texaco

Dm Am E Am

Verse:

I was staring at the man behind the counter
                                 Dm
The customers were laying on the floor
                                               Am
I said, "Weʼre gonna sing a song, itʼs called ʼThe Sound of Silenceʼ
                       E       Am
And you, just open the fucking drawer!"


But he pulled out a gun like a magician
                                            Dm
Well, Iʼve also learned some magic over the years
                                    Am
My bullet hocus pocused through the back of his head
                         E
And made the side of his jaw disappear

Chorus:
            Dm             Am
God damnit, la la di da, I told you not to try
C                       G
Look at what you made me do
Dm           Am
La la di da, now youʼre gonna die
      E                       Am
The only one to blame here is you

Verse:

Well, Iʼm guessing that you all feel like a hostage
                                 Dm
But Iʼm sure it feels nice to be held
                              Am
Though comedy and tragedy are historically linked
                   E       Am
The joke didnʼt Go over too well

 Dm            G
"Oh, please let us go
  C                          Am
I promise that we wonʼt say a thing"
            E                                                          E      Am
I said "The next you Do decides the version of you your family will see again"

  N.C.
I had no idea where I was goinʼ
                                     Dm
I just know I had to get out of this town
                               Am
Just give me your keys, youʼre cominʼ with me
      E
A few minutes later, we were nowhere to be found

Chorus:
F            Am
La la di da, enjoy the ride
C                    G
Keep your eyes on the road
F           Am              E
La la di da, there was a sign
               Am
120 miles from Mexico

And then it hit me
