Am
But yet in still I find it hard
C
for me to stay in touch
B
I see his parents and then
Am
Because I know what you did was wrong
C
But you won't realize un
Am
Em
til you dead and gone
Am
It ain't no justifiable homicide,
C
you never gave a warning
B
Em
You straight up shot him from behind
Am
But all the cryin' in the world
C
ain't gonna bring him back
Am
You give a gat to a black he
Em
Am
don't know how to act
But you gotta tell your story to the judge
C
Not the imitation judge,
B
E
the judge that everybody loves
Am
And if the man upstairs
grants you forgiveness
C
Am
Then in reality you took
care of your business
C
But regardless I know you want to kill me
B
E
But I ain't going' out like that
Am
C
Am
