She stood back in the shadows as the broker dealt with me

Well, he handed me the pistol and I was almost to the door

When I heard him tell the lady seven dollars nothing more.

His dollars just weren't making sense    and I knew I had to stay.

          Cm                                Bb
Well, the brokers face turned pasty when he caught my icy stare

         Cm                            Bb
It would never leave my pocket, but he knew the gun was there.

As we walked down the sidewalk she reached and took my hand.
