Intro: Am Dm Am E7

Verse:

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

We were so damn drunk
          Am                            E7  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
               E7        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
                       E7        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"
          E7                        Am
ʼCause no one wants to die in a Texaco

Dm Am E7 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
                       E7       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
                         E7
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
      E7                       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
                   E7       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"
            E7                                                          E7      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
      E7
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              E7
La la di da, there was a sign
               Am
120 miles from Mexico

And then it hit me
