Db Ab
Hey Patty Garrett, that's what I used to call you.
Db Ab
They tell me you want me, but I here they've got you.
Db Ab
They made you a law man, with a badge made of silver.
Eb7 Ab
They paid you some money to sell them my blood.

But you say: This ain't about me and this ain't about you,
Eb7 Ab
Or the good and the bad times, we've both been through.

When the lines between brothers and justice have changed,
Eb7 Ab
You do what you've got to, 'cause you can't walk away.
Db Ab
I wonder what would have happened if you were the killer
Db Ab
And I was the hero, would things be the same?
Db Ab
Or would I have traded your life for my own life?
Eb7 Ab
Would I have paid your debts in your place?
Ab7 Db Ab
I don't know. But this ain't about me and this ain't about you,

When the lines between brothers and justice have changed,
Eb7 Ab
You do what you've got to, 'cause you can't walk away.

Blood Money, that's what I call it,
Eb7 Ab7
'Cause money for blood, ain't no fair exchange.
Db Ab
Blood Money, bought and then sold you,
Eb7 Ab
But your conscience is all you can take to your grave.
