[A] [E]
[A] [E] Someone lights a cigarette while riding [F#m] in a car
[E] Some old car takes a swing and falls in back of lawn
[B] But when they were [E]
last night, no one [F#] can remember
[C#m] [A] Somebody got [B] hurt and the pain keeps [E] forever
Someone [A] got hurt and [E] someone [F#]
[A] gets hurt
[E] Reminding your own business, carrying [F#m] the chain
[E] You wouldn't touch a bomb, but the hunger you'll retain
[B] I've been very [E]
gentle to grab it [C#] from the tail
[C#m] I've been [A] very [B] hungry, but not enough to kill
Someone [C#m] got [A] hurt, [E] [F#] someone's [A] dead forever
[E] Somebody got murdered, his name cannot [F#m] be found
[E] Smoke stain on the pavement, scrub it off [F#m] the ground
[B] On the daily crowd, this [E] person, no one says [F#m] that cry
[C#m] Somebody [A] got murdered [B] and he's left me with [E] a touch
Someone [C#m] got [A] hurt, [E] [B] someone's [A] dead forever
[E] Sounds like murder, [C#m] no shout, [A] I make jump, down below
Sounds [E] like murder, [F#m] no scream, I [A] make jump, down [E] below
Scream, [C#m] my one song, [A] sounds like murder
[E] Sounds like murder, [F#m] scream,
