[Verse 1] (Riff 1)
Gm
Everybody shouting, working up a sweat

Gm
Stepping over lines, you know what happened next

     Gm
More trouble, than anyone can use

       Gm                             E5   F5    F#5 Gm
It's a pre-determined thing, you lose your right to choose
[Verse 2] (Riff 1)
Gm
  No way to turn it around

        Gm
You got no more time, no time to calm yourself down

Gm
Once you press the button, man, it's coming to a head

Gm                                E5   F5   F#5 Gm
Pretty soon, babe, you'll be a long time dead
[Bridge]
Eb                     Bb/D
  Little brother, I'm telling you now

     C
Your pride can take a hit

Eb                 Bb/D
  Little brother, take a deep breath

         C
Cool off, man, forget about it
[Chorus] (Riff 2)
Gm
  Drop the weapon

Gm
Kick it away

Gm
  Drop your gun
N.C. Look the other way
Gm
  Drop the weapon

Gm
Live another day

Gm
  Drop your blade
N.C. Listen to what I say [Verse 3] (Riff 1)
 Gm
Who you trying to impress? You making a bid

        Gm
To be a big shot brother, but you're just a small kid

 Gm
Now your reputation got a minor stain

         Gm                E5      F5  F#5 Gm
It'll be washed away by tomorrow's rain
[Bridge]
Eb                     Bb/D
  Little brother, I'm telling you now

     C
Your pride can take a hit

Eb                 Bb/D
  Little brother, take a deep breath

         C
Cool off, man, forget about it
[Chorus] (Riff 2)
Gm
  Drop the weapon

Gm
Kick it away

Gm
  Drop your gun
N.C. Look the other way
Gm
  Drop the weapon

Gm
Live another day

Gm
  Drop your blade
N.C. Listen to what I say [Interlude] 1:51
Em
 No sound of silence

D6
 Just streets of violence

C
 We're in overload

A
 Wrong side of the road

Em
 Oh, San Francisco

D6
 Where the hell did you go?

C
 We have enough of that

 And say a prayer
