Em D Fill the cracks in, with judicial granite A C Because I don't say it, don't mean I ain't Thinkin' it Em D Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away A C I know what I said, now I must scream Em D of the ov-er-dose A C And the lack of mercy killers Em D Mercy killings, mercy killers A Killers killers killers C D Em Next thing you know they'll take my thoughts away.
