Verse 1
Well I [C#]knew I was [F#]young [C#]enough[F#]
And I [C#]knew there was [F#]nothing to [C#]it[F#]
‘cause I’d [C#]already [F#]seen it [C#]done [F#]enough
And I [C#]knew there was [F#]nothing to [C#]it[F#]
There was [F#]no organization I [D#m]wanted to join

[F#] Just contemplating [D#m]killing a man
Chorus
For [C#]greed was [D#m]one thing I [C#]just couldn’t [D#m]stand
If [C#]I was [D#m]you I’d put [C#]back what I [D#m]took
A [C#]guilty [D#m]man’s got a [C#]guilty look[D#m]
[C#]Heads I [D#m]will and [C#]tails I [D#m]won’t
As [C#]long as the [D#m]call be won’t [C#]be my own[D#m]
Verse 2
Well you [F#]don’t have to turn your pockets [D#m]inside out
But I’m [F#]sure you can give me [D#m]something
Well you [F#]don’t have to go into your [D#m]bank account
But I’m [F#]sure you can give me [D#m]something
