Verse 1DCadd9
When the triggers moving backwards, and the pin hits the shell
GCadd9GD
When my soul sinkin’ slowly into the warm pits of hell
DCadd9
Won't you tell my baby sister that I'll be back in the fall
GCadd9GD
Cause it's better to have false hope than no hope at all
ChorusCadd9G
And I'll be meeting with my savior to go over my foolish deeds
Cadd9Cadd9GD
When he asks me why I did it lord I'll blame it on the seed
Cadd9G
Cause it didn't grow in like I planned and when it did it all went dry
Cadd9Cadd9GD
And I couldn't stand to hear the pain of a, small baby crying

Well I remember in the graveyards well I used to read the names

And I wondered when the good lord would take my soul away

Well I wonder if he planned it to happen like this at all
GCadd9GD
With the shot heard halfway cross the world and my sins on the wall
ChorusCadd9G
And I'll be meeting with my savior to go over my foolish deeds

When he asks me why I did it lord I'll blame it on the seed

And I couldn't stand to hear the pain of a, small baby crying
DCadd9
And they'll tell me I'm a bad man, but they’ve never seen the sight
GCadd9GD
Of a baby wailing in his crib, and ripping apart the night
Cadd9GD
It’s a small baby crying
