[Verse]
G                                     Cm
Heidi, there are things you couldn't possibly know

        C                 G
It's a race of angels, a line in the snow

G                       Cm
A flame in the dark, a prayer to Saint Jude

C
He's the patron saint of nothingness

         G
There's nothing he can do
[Bridge]
          Em7    D      C
'Cause it's out of his hands

          Em7    D      C
He's not a god, no he is merely a man

           Am7              D     Am7           D
And so I'm telling everybody, "I will not come undone"

     Am7        D        Am7              D7
But being so superior is just no fuckin' fun, no!
[Chorus]
F           C               G    Gsus2
If I had a gun, I think I'm able

F           C               G     Gsus2
If I had a gun, I'd know what to do

F           C               G
If I had a gun, I would be perfectly unstable

     Em                                   A
Well nothing really changes, then, that's true

   Am                                    D
Oh Heidi, I am many things, but I thank God I'm not like you
[Verse]
       G          Gsus2
'Cause kids of today

                   Cm
They think they're so damn profound

              C
You give them one slim book of Kerouac

            G
And they're ready to expound

       G
On the way of the world

    Cm
On what makes things art

              C
They couldn't find their way around Kentucky

       G
On the map of a human heart
[Bridge]
         Em7  D   C
So it's out of my hands

          Em7               D         C
I'm not a god 'cause I will never be a man

           Am7            D           Am7               D
And so I'm telling everybody, "I've learnt to fill the hole"

     Am7             D              Am7           D7
I'm baking cakes on Sunday for the teatime of my soul
[Chorus]
F           C               G    Gsus2
If I had a gun, I think I'm able

F           C               G     Gsus2
If I had a gun, I'd know what to do

F           C               G
If I had a gun, I would be perfectly unstable

     Em                                   A
Well nothing really changes, then, that's true

   Am                                    D
Oh Heidi, I am many things, but I thank God I'm not like you
[Middle 8]
       Gm/C
'Cause I have a heart

 G
I think it beats

 Gm/C               G
I don't say things I do not mean

 Cm
To appear clever

 G       D   F
Heidi, I'm not you

 G            D          F
Maybe that's strange to you

 G      D       F       Fmaj7    Fmaj9
Maybe I'm just strange...
[Guitar solo, same as first lines of chorus] [Chorus]
F           C               G    Gsus2
If I had a gun, I think I'm able

If I had a gun, I'd know what to do

If I had a gun, I would be perfectly unstable

     Em                                   A
Well nothing really changes, then, that's true
