Soichiro: Verse 1:
DmDm A7A7 A7sus
There are lines that can't be crossed
DmDm
There are things you shouldn't do
A7A7 A7sus
For you pay too high a cost
DmDm FF
And you lose a piece of you
C majorC G minorGm
You don't justify the means
C majorC FF
In the service of an end
C majorC G minorGm
Smashing laws to smithereens
C majorC Bb majorBb A7A7
Till there aren't any rules left to break or mend
Soichiro: Verse 2:
DmDm A7A7 A7sus
Set a thief to catch a thief
DmDm
Trap a liar with a lie
A7A7 A7sus
But don't traffic in this grief
DmDm FF
In the name of eye for eye
C majorC G minorGm
Nothing wrong can turn out right
C majorC FF
By saying wrong’s all right to do
C majorC G minorGm
Men of principle must fight
C majorC Bb majorBb A7A7
So the truth that's in the man that you are stays true
Chorus:
DmDm A7sus
You don't kill someone
A7A7 DmDm
As a substitute
A7sus
You don't load a gun
A7A7 DmDm
Close your eyes and shoot
A7sus
You don't kill a man
A7A7 DmDm
Just to buy a clue
A7sus
This is not a plan
A7A7 DmDm
Lawmen can pursue

G minorGm DmDm
Father, you know that I feel as you do

For these lessons I learned at your knee

And I think maybe by working with you

Helping you will be helpful for me
Soichiro & Light: Chorus:
DmDm A7sus
You don't kill someone (You don't kill someone)
A7A7 DmDm
As a substitute! (As a substitute!)
A7sus
You don't load a gun (You don't)
Soichiro, Light:
A7A7 DmDm
Close your eyes and shoot!
Soichiro:
A7sus
You don't kill a man
A7A7 DmDm
Just to read the signs
Light:
A7sus
That's no better than
A7A7 DmDm
Bad that good defines

A7A7 DmDm
Never cross these lines
Light:
A7A7 DmDm
Never cross these lines
Soichiro, Light:
A7A7 DmDm
Never cross these lines!
