  C               G    
I took the job, I packed the bag 
   C                    G    
I ride the train to the pick-up point 
        C                           G 
I'll be telling myself There was no other way 
         A 
That you brought it on yourself 
       C 
Now my heart's aflame 
                   G 
At the end of your life 
                     D 
it's the end of your life 


           C                     G 
I've got a pool of blood On this bathroom floor 
    C                        G 
The mirror's broke There's a crack in the door 
          C                           G 
There's a broken window That I'll be crawling through 
           A 
Then I've changed my life 
        C 
And we won't have you 
              G 
We won't have you 
                 D 
No,we won't have you 


Bb         A G# G           G# A 
Good or evil,   Saint or whore 
Bb               A G# G 
Domestic or public,   I don't recall 
         B 
You were on the ledger 
              C 
Your name was double crossed 
             A 
You were the prime assignment 
   D 
So help me Christ 

         C                         G 
I've got major questions About the Lord above 
      C                     G      
About Satan below About the way we love 
          C                       G 
About the rule at the top And the people coming up 
       A 
And I still don't know 
             C 
What we were looking for 
              G 
But it wasn't you 
              D 
No, it wasn't you 
              Bb  G 
no, it wasn't you  
          Bb   G  Bb  G 
It wasn't you
