As recorded by The Mountain Goats (From the 2022 Album BLEED OUT) [Intro] D Am Em D Am Em D [Verse 1]
D                        Em
There may come a day someday

                              D
When we all look back and laugh

                                       Em
But there's lots of noise in the break room

                        D
Nasty points on the graph
[Verse 2]
D                             C         Em
And they're breaking into the broadcast now

                    G
Special update from Action News!

D                               A
Some of what you'll hear in the footage that follows

    Bm              G
May not reflect our station's views
[Chorus]
                  D       A G
We may run out of bullets

                                       D
We're never going to run out of hostages
[Verse 3]
D                           Em
There's disagreements on procedure

A                     D
Vocal, bitter divisions

                Em
As is often the case in situations likе this one

                                         D
I'll be the onе who makes the final decision
[Verse 4]
C                                Em
Some of you have been here before

G
Most of you have not

D                        A
Some will dwell on the details in the future

   Bm                                 G
Or work to keep it out of your thoughts
[Chorus]
                     D    A G
We may run out of bullets

                                       D
We're never going to run out of hostages
[Bridge]
                       G
If there's one thing I love

                   D
It's an infinite resource

                           F#m    G
If there's one thing worth loving

       Em7           A     D
It's a surplus of supplies
[Guitar Solo] D Am7 Em D [Verse 5]
D                        Em
There's a team up on the rooftop

A                   D
Good luck to the team

                           Em7
When you know you'll never make it out alive

                                     D
You kind of get to live out your dream
[Verse 6]
                   C        Em
Helicopters in the distance

G
Music of the spheres on the wind

              D                 A
It's gonna be a rough ride from here down to the exit

                Bm                      G
Some might look back and laugh at the end
[Chorus]
                        D  A G
We may run out of bullets

N.C.                               D
We're never going to run out of hostages
