C# F# C# F# C# F# C# F#
[Verse 1]
C# F# C# F#
Well I knew I was young enough
C# F# C# F#
And I knew there was nothing to it
C# F# C# F#
‘cause I’d already seen it done enough
C# F# C# F#
And I knew there was nothing to it
F# D#m
There was no organization I wanted to join
F# D#m
So I stayed by myself and took out a coin
F# D#m
There I sat with my eyes in my hand
F# D#m
Just contemplating killing a man
[Chorus]
C# D#m C# D#m
For greed was one thing I just couldn’t stand
C# D#m C# D#m
If I was you I’d put back what I took
C# D#m C# D#m
A guilty man’s got a guilty look
C# D#m C# D#m
Heads I will and tails I won’t
C# D#m C# D#m
As long as the call be won’t be my own
[Verse 2]
F# D#m
Well you don’t have to turn your pockets inside out
F# D#m
But I’m sure you can give me something
F# D#m
Well you don’t have to go into your bank account
F# D#m
But I’m sure you can give me something
