[Strophe]
Am                           Dm 
In the middle of a gun fight...  
                         C 
In the center of a restaurant...  
                E                     Am 
They say, "Come with your arms raised high!"  
                               Dm 
Well, they're never gonna get me,  
                                 C 
Like a bullet through a flock of doves... 
             E                Am         Dm 
To wage this war against your faith in me, 
     C           E            Am 
Your life...will never be the same.  
        Dm                   C              E 
On your mother's eyes, say a prayer...say a prayer!
[Refrain]
Am 
Now, but I can't  
       Dm 
And I don't know  
                                  C 
How we're just two men as God had made us,  
                        E 
Well, I can't...well, I can!  
Am 
Too much, too late, or just not enough of this  
Dm 
Pain in my heart for your dying wish,  
C                    E 
I'll kiss your lips again. 
[Strophe]
     Am 
They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost,  
    Dm                                               C 
My cellmate's a killer, they make me do push-ups (in drag)  
                           E 
But nobody cares if you're losing yourself...am I losing myself?! 
      Am 
Well, I miss my mom,  
 
Will they give me the chair, 
   Dm                                            C 
Or lethal injection, or swing from a rope if you dare; 
                           E 
Ah, nobody knows...all the trouble I've seen! 
[Refrain]
Am 
Now, but I can't  
       Dm 
And I don't know  
                                  C 
How we're just two men as God had made us,  
                        E 
Well, I can't...well, I can!  
Am 
Too much, too late, or just not enough of this  
Dm 
Pain in my heart for your dying wish,  
C                    E 
I'll kiss your lips again. 
[Interlude]
Am      Dm 
To your room...  
          C 
What they ask of you  
     E                Am       Dm 
Will make you want to say, "So long..." 
        C 
Well, I don't remember,  
E              Am 
Why remember...YOU?! 
[Pre-Refrain]
Am                                Dm 
Do you have the keys to the hotel?!  
                                             C      E 
'Cause I'm gonna string this motherfucker on fire! (FIRE!!)
[Refrain]
Am            Dm 
Life is but a dream for the dead, 
            C 
And well I, I won't go down by myself,  
                         E 
But I'll go down with my friends.  
Am          Dm 
Now now now now... (I can't explain) 
        C 
Now now now... (I can't complain) 
         E 
Now now, yeah! 
Am 
Now, now, now, now, now, now!
