Badge number 301,

Cadd9               G             D          
sits in his car and stares at his gun

             D                        Em
He wipes the blood from his shirt the sweat from his brow

       Cadd9                G
He got out this time but he don't know how

     Cadd9          G
He'd go on home but nobody's there 

D                 G
No one to hold no one to care

D                        Em
There was a time when he had someone

        Cadd9            G           G  G/F#
But one day he came home, she was gone
[Chorus]

But she's got no money shes got no rent

    D                  G
The money she has is already spent

        D                    Em
Cause a couple weeks ago she learned her lesson

           Cadd9                   G              G  D/F#
