Em
There's a green plaid jacket on the back of the chair

It's like a moment frozen forever there

             C                                         Em
It was the wrong place, wrong time, wrong end of a gun
  D
Sad

I'm over five-foot-three
            C                                    Em
I'll get a badge and a gun and I'll join the P.D
      D
They'll see
 Em
He didn't want to use the gun they put in his hand
             D
But when the guy came at him, well, he panicked and ran
            C                                                 Em
And it's a very long year, so they'll give him another chance
  D
And it's sad
