Intro: G#m C#m G#m D#7

Verse:

We were sittinʼ at the party drinkinʼ heavy
                             C#m
Yellinʼ "belief in life after love"

We were so damn drunk
          G#m                            D#7  G#m
Doinʼ our best impressions of Cher that we could


Until someone said "Iʼd kill for more tequila"
                                          C#m
Another voice said "Fuck me, weʼre out of drugs!"
                          G#m
In a moment of silence, I had an idea
               D#7        G#m
Slowly started standing up

C#m F#     B              C#            G#m
Oh, just let me use your car and Iʼll go

I didnʼt have money
                                                        C#m
But i knew my friend, he always kept a pistol in the car
                                  G#m
So I parked down the street where no one would see me
                       D#7        G#m
And walked into the gas station store

Chorus:
         C#m           G#m
Yellinʼ "la la di da, donʼt start to cry
     B                              F#
Just give me what I want, and Iʼll go
C#m                         G#m
La la di da, put the money inside"
          D#7                        G#m
ʼCause no one wants to die in a Texaco

C#m G#m D#7 G#m

Verse:

I was staring at the man behind the counter
                                 C#m
The customers were laying on the floor
                                               G#m
I said, "Weʼre gonna sing a song, itʼs called ʼThe Sound of Silenceʼ
                       D#7       G#m
And you, just open the fucking drawer!"


But he pulled out a gun like a magician
                                            C#m
Well, Iʼve also learned some magic over the years
                                    G#m
My bullet hocus pocused through the back of his head
                         D#7
And made the side of his jaw disappear

Chorus:
            C#m             G#m
God damnit, la la di da, I told you not to try
B                       F#
Look at what you made me do
C#m           G#m
La la di da, now youʼre gonna die
      D#7                       G#m
The only one to blame here is you

Verse:

Well, Iʼm guessing that you all feel like a hostage
                                 C#m
But Iʼm sure it feels nice to be held
                              G#m
Though comedy and tragedy are historically linked
                   D#7       G#m
The joke didnʼt Go over too well

 C#m            F#
"Oh, please let us go
  B                          G#m
I promise that we wonʼt say a thing"
            D#7                                                          D#7      G#m
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
                                     C#m
I just know I had to get out of this town
                               G#m
Just give me your keys, youʼre cominʼ with me
      D#7
A few minutes later, we were nowhere to be found

Chorus:
E            G#m
La la di da, enjoy the ride
B                    F#
Keep your eyes on the road
E           G#m              D#7
La la di da, there was a sign
               G#m
120 miles from Mexico

And then it hit me
