What you go and do

Now we'll all be at his mercy

Cause there ain't no place to run to

Ain't no place to run
[Verse]
G
If he wants the chances that you took from him

    D
And nothing that you own

              C
Then there'll be no place to run to

                            G
There'll be no place to run
[Chorus]
          C
And if he finds himself to be

  Em               C
A reflection of us all
N.C. Bang bang bang
               G     D C
He'll shoot us down
[Chorus]
C
Before you can raise your eyes to read

    Em             C
The writing on the wall
N.C. Bang bang bang
                G     D C
He'll shoot you down
[Chorus]
C
Before you can bridge the gulf between

      Em                C
And embrace him in your arms
N.C. Bang bang bang
                     G
He'll shoot you down
