Verse:
AmDm
In the middle of a gun fight...
C
In the center of a restaurant...
EAm
They say, "Come with your arms raised high!"
Dm
Well, theyʼre never gonna get me,
C
Like a bullet through a flock of doves...
EAmDm
To wage this war against your faith in me,
CEAm
Your life... will never be the same.
DmC
On your motherʼs eyes, say a prayer...
E
say a prayer!
Chorus:
Am
Now, but I canʼt
Dm
And I donʼt know
C
How weʼre just two men as God had made us,
E
Well, I canʼt...well, I can!
Am
Too much, too late, or just not enough of this
Dm
Pain in my heart for your dying wish,
CE
Iʼll kiss your lips again.
Verse:
Am
They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost,
Dm
My cellmateʼs a killer, they make me
C
do push-ups (in drag)
E
But nobody cares if youʼre losing yourself...
E
am I losing myself?!
Am
Well, I miss my mom,
Am
Will they give me the chair,
Dm
Or lethal injection, or swing from a rope
C
if you dare;
E
Ah, nobody knows... all the trouble Iʼve seen!
Chorus:
Am
Now, but I canʼt
Dm
And I donʼt know
C
How weʼre just two men as God had made us,
E
Well, I canʼt... well, I can!
Am
Too much, too late, or just not enough of this
Dm
Pain in my heart for your dying wish,
CE
Iʼll kiss your lips again.
AmDm
To your room...
C
What they ask of you
EAmDm
Will make you want to say, "So long..."
C
Well, I donʼt remember,
EAm
Why remember...YOU?!
AmDm
Do you have the keys to the hotel?!
ʼCause Iʼm gonna string this motherfucker
CE
on fire! (FIRE!!)
AmDm
Life is but a dream for the dead,
C
And well I, I wonʼt go down by myself,
E
But Iʼll go down with my friends.
AmDm
Now now now now... (I canʼt explain)
C
Now now now... (I canʼt complain)
E
Now now, yeah!
Am
Now, now, now, now, now, now!
