[Intro]
F/C G Bb F Bdim
[Verse 1]
F/C G
I'll be gone when you read this so I just wanted to say
Bb F Bdim
I'm sorry to the couple decent people who got in the way
F/C G
And maybe there was a point at which it all coulda been different
Bb F Bdim
But this is the position we're in and it's pointless to wish that it isn't
F/C G
They'll all be gawking when I walk in the door
Bb F Bdim
Cocking my shotgun hammer and they drop to the floor
F/C G Bb
The clocks shatter I scatter the jock horde and splatter the chalkboard
F Bdim
It matters a lot more, than half of you thought
F/C G
When you were knocking me like I'm a laughingstock
Bb F Bdim
And a weakling a freak and creep, I was mocked and ignored
F/C G
You're sorry now but talk is cheap-- shoulda thought it before
Bb F Bdim
You're the sorry flock of sheep who made me rot to the core
F/C G
And of course you'll make a break to escape through the corridor
Bb F Bdim
Don't be late I'll set you up on a date with the coroner
F/C G
And our fate's are sealed, all of you fakes
Bb F
Don't worry, this will all be over soon
[Chorus]
F/C G
You got your finger on the trigger, kid
Bb F Bdim
You got your finger on the trigger, kid, come on
F/C G
Line it up, line it up, line it up
Bb F Bdim
And hit me with the truth
F/C G
You got your finger on the trigger, kid
Bb F Bdim
You got your finger on the trigger, kid, come on
F/C G
Line it up, line it up, line it up
Bb F Bdim
And hit me with the truth
[Verse 2]
F/C G
Thanks for tuning into the top-rated crew in the news
Bb F Bdim
Feels great to us that we're the one that viewers would choose!
F/C
I'm hearing through my producer
G Bb
We've got the scoop on the name and the favorite food of the shooter
F Bdim
Plus an interview with a student
F/C G
Who's been fed through a tube she was shot in the head
Bb F Bdim
We're gonna bring you a segment live from her hospital bed!
F/C G
We'll try to bring you the spin through your preexisting opinions
Bb F Bdim
But if we miss it switch it to our sister network instead
F/C G
Of course we know this situation is tragic
Bb F Bdim
But take a minute to appreciate our fabulous graphics
F/C G
And we'll be back in action with up to the second reports
Bb F Bdim
After a couple words from all our loyal sponsors of course
F/C G

Bb F

[Chorus]
F/C G
You got your finger on the trigger, kid
Bb F Bdim
You got your finger on the trigger, kid, come on
F/C G
Line it up, line it up, line it up
Bb F Bdim
And hit me with the truth
F/C G
You got your finger on the trigger, kid
Bb F Bdim
You got your finger on the trigger, kid, come on
F/C G
Line it up, line it up, line it up
Bb F Bdim
And hit me with the truth
[Bridge]
F/C G
Stick to your guns
Bb F Bdim
Stick to your guns
F/C G
Stick to your guns
Bb F Bdim
Stick to your guns
[Verse 3]
Dm
We come together in this hour of need
Dm
To honor the innocent victims of this cowardly deed
Dm
Of course I share your sentiment as your voice in the senate
Dm
But let's accept nothing ever could have been done to prevent it
Dm
It's just the strange inner visions of a deranged individual
Dm
Full of rage, full of hate, full of vitriol
Dm
But I gotta mention that it's sick and insane
Dm
My opponent's twisting your pain for political gain
F/C G
That's lame
Bb
And I think it's a damn shame
F Bdim F/C
It doesn't give anyone power to cast blame
G Bb F Bdim
Because the past is the past, and it's best that we keep things the same, so
F C G
My Chads and my Stacey's, go back to the mall
Bb F Bdim
Fill your bags out at Macy's, and chat in the hall
F/C G
And I hope I'm the vote that you cast in the poll
Bb F Bdim
Cause I care for you, it's true
[Bridge]
F/C G
Stick to your guns
Bb F Bdim
Stick to your guns
F/C G
Stick to your guns
Bb F Bdim
Stick to your guns
