[Intro]
Eb Bb F
Gm G F
[Verse 1]
Dm C F
Simple walk to the corner store
Dm
Mama never thought she would be gettin'
C
a call from the coroner
F Dm
Said her son's been gunned down, been gunned down
C F
"Can you come now?"
Gm
Tears in her eyes, "Can you calm down?
Bb C
Please, ma'am, can you calm down?"
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C F
But it rained fire in the city that day, they say
Dm7 C
A river of blood in the streets
F
No love in the streets
Dm7 C F
And then came silence in the city that day, they say
Bb
Just another one gone
C
And they tell her move on
[Chorus]
Eb
And she's stuck there, singing
Bb
"Baby, don't you close your eyes
F
'Cause this could be our final time
G C F
And you know I'm horrible at saying goodbye
Bb
And I think of all you could have done
F
At least you'll stay forever young
G C F
I guess you picked the perfect way to die
G F F
Oh, I guess you picked the perfect way to die"
[Verse 2]
Dm C F
New job, new city, new her
Dm C F
Bright-eyed, you would have been proud if you knew her
Dm C F
Flashing lights in the mirror, pull over, pull over
Gm F Bb
A couple nights in detention and it's over, a whole life's over
[Pre-Chorus]
C Dm7 C F
They came marching in the city that day, they say
Dm C
Carryin' signs in the street
F
Cryin' eyes in the streets
Dm7 C F
But they heard nothing from the city that day, they say
Bb
Just another one gone
C
And the city moved on
[Chorus]
Eb
We're stuck here singing
Bb
"Baby, don't you close your eyes
F
'Cause this could be our final time
G C F
And you know I'm horrible at saying goodbye

I'll think of all you coulda done
Bbm F
At least you'll stay forever young
G C F
I guess you picked the perfect way to die
G C F
Oh, I guess you picked the perfect way to die"
[Bridge]
Dm C
Another dream lost
F Bb
Another king and queen lost
Eb F
Another broken promise they refuse to make right
Dm C
Oh, another night to live in fear
F Bb
Oh, another night that you're not here
Eb C
Another reason to get out there and fight
[Chorus]
Cm Bb
But I said, "Baby, don't you close your eyes
Bbm F
'Cause this could be our final time
G C F
And you know I'm horrible at saying goodbye
Eb Bb
But I'll think of all you coulda done
F
At least you'll stay forever young
G C F
I guess you picked the perfect way to die
Dm C
Oh, I guess you picked the perfect way..."
