Em
My first murder was an accident I never meant to do
B
I had been going for his wallet, wound up taking his life, too
C
I had him cornered in an alley with my gun against his face
Em
I said, "Hand over your money and I'll send you on your way"
B F# A Em
But he just had to play the hero and refused to cooperate
Em
The second time I killed a man, I did it for revenge
B
He had been flirting with my woman and I couldn't let that stand
C
So when he got up to leave the bar, I followed him out back
Em
Pinned him in between a brick wall and my stolen Cadillac
B F# A Em
Kept on inching that car forward, 'til I felt his rib cage crack
Em
Now, three and four were easier, but I'm really not sure why
B
I picked up a couple hitchhikers on route I-95
C
I don't claim to understand it, but I think I lost my head
Em
All that I remember is the way their clothes turned red
B F# A Em
When I came back to my senses, I had stabbed them both to death
Em
Now, by this time, I had become accustomed to the kill
B
And I'm not proud about it, but I kinda like the thrill
C
To feel the heartbeat in the throat, the terror in the eyes
Em
The sorry choking noises as they beg you for their lives
B F# A Em
Oh, strangulation music, that was number five
Em
Six, I did for money, it was just another job
B
And seven, out of desperation, I had to kill a cop
C
They caught up with me in Reno as I ran for the state line
Em
The hostages I'd taken, number eight and number nine
B F#m A Em
Now they've got me surrounded, but they won't get me alive
Bm
Peering out the window, there's a thousand cops out front
Em B
They circle me like vultures, but I feel so far away
C
Everybody has to die, there is no escape
Em
The only thing that changes is how long you have to wait
C Em E
I'm not gonna spend my whole life behind metal bars
B Em
So get ready, I'm coming, let's see who's the fastest draw!
