[Verse 1]
(see tabs above)
Bm D Em Bm Bm/F# Bm/E Bm/F#
If there’s a good man in you, you killed him today
D Em Bm
Took him out for a drink and then you put him in his grave
D Em Bm
Drove him outside a town far away from his house
D Em Bm
So when the bullet rang out, no one else heard a sound

[Verse 2]
D Em Bm
If there’s a good man in you, he’s dead in the dirt
D Em Bm
But he’ll be survived by the people he hurt
D Em Bm
Then they’ll gather in masses, for him, they will mourn
D Em Bm
A prodigal son from the day you were born

[Chorus]
G D Em
Ooh ooh, what have you become?
G D Em
Ooh ooh, you were your mother’s son
G D Em
Ooh ooh, this world is cruel, I know
G D Em
Ooh ooh, I wish it spared you
G D A Bm
In with a cry and out with a gun

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
D Em Bm
If there’s a good man in you, you killed him again
D Em Bm
You poisoned the well of someone you called a friend
D Em Bm
I think you’d rather they hate you but I don’t think they do
D Em Bm
They’re just sad you keep killin’ the good man in you

[Chorus]
G D Em
Ooh ooh, what have you become?
G D Em
Ooh ooh, you were your mother’s son
G D Em
Ooh ooh, this world is cruel, I know
G D Em
Ooh ooh, I wish it spared you
G D A Bm
In with a cry and out with a gun

[Bridge]
Bm F#

F# G D A
God is my witness, I hate to see you this way
F# G D A
And I believe in forgiveness but I don’t know if people can change
Em
You tell me
Bm
You tell me

[Chorus]
G D Em
Ooh ooh, what have you become?
G D Em
Ooh ooh, you were your mother’s son
G D Em
Ooh ooh, this world is cruel, I know
G D Em
Ooh ooh, I wish it spared you
G D A Bm
In with a cry and out with a gun
