Chords with lyrics

Intro:
BB F#F# A augmentedA E minorEm

Verse 1:

E minorEm
My first murder was an accident I never meant to do
      BB
I had been going for his wallet, wound up taking his life, too
     C majorC
I had him cornered in an alley with my gun against his face
    E minorEm
I said, "Hand over your money and I'll send you on your way"
   BB                     F#F# A augmentedA E minorEm
But he just had to play the hero and refused to cooperate

Verse 2:

E minorEm
The second time I killed a man, I did it for revenge
      BB
He had been flirting with my woman and I couldn't let that stand
     C majorC
So when he got up to leave the bar, I followed him out back
       E minorEm
Pinned him in between a brick wall and my stolen Cadillac
    BB                     F#F# A augmentedA  E minorEm
Kept on inching that car forward, 'til I felt his rib cage crack

Verse 3:

E minorEm
Now, three and four were easier, but I'm really not sure why
     BB
I picked up a couple hitchhikers on route I-95
    C majorC
I don't claim to understand it, but I think I lost my head
E minorEm
All that I remember is the way their clothes turned red
   BB                      F#F# A augmentedA E minorEm
When I came back to my senses, I had stabbed them both to death

Interlude:
E MajorE G+G D MajorD G+G E minorEm F# minorF#m
E MajorE G+G A augmentedA G+G FF E minorEm

Verse 4:

   E minorEm
Now, by this time, I had become accustomed to the kill
  BB
And I'm not proud about it, but I kinda like the thrill
   C majorC
To feel the heartbeat in the throat, the terror in the eyes
E minorEm
The sorry choking noises as they beg you for their lives
  BB               F#F# A augmentedA E minorEm
Oh, strangulation music, that was number five

Verse 5:

E minorEm
Six, I did for money, it was just another job
  BB
And seven, out of desperation, I had to kill a cop
   C majorC
They caught up with me in Reno as I ran for the state line
E minorEm
The hostages I'd taken, number eight and number nine
BB                       F# minorF#m A augmentedA E minorEm
Now they've got me surrounded, but they won't get me alive

Outro:

P.M. E minorEm
So I'm holed up in this motel and I'm loading up my guns
B minorBm
Peering out the window, there's a thousand cops out front
  E minorEm                     BB
They circle me like vultures, but I feel so far away
C majorC
Everybody has to die, there is no escape
E minorEm
The only thing that changes is how long you have to wait
  C majorC                     E minorEm   E MajorE
I'm not gonna spend my whole life behind metal bars
  BB                         E minorEm
So get ready, I'm coming, let's see who's the fastest draw!
