Intro: Am  C  G  Am 

Am                        C 
I've let the sun set three hundred sixty five times 
     G                         Am 
With murder running deep in my heart 
Am               C 
If I didn't directly pull the trigger 
    G                     Am 
I sure as hell played my own part 

Am                     C 
You know that it's a snake eat snake world 
     G                         Am 
We slither and serpentine through 
Am                         C 
We all took a bite and six thousand years later 
       G                        Am      Am 
This apples getting harder to chew 
  
C         G                       Am 
Tonight, boys, we're eating like kings 
C                 G                   Am 
We've all tasted death too much it seems 
C         G                         Am 
Tonight, boys, we're eating like kings  

Am                           C 
It's been a few years and a couple hundred sunsets 
G                         Am 
Since I fired a rifle in rage 
Am                           C 
A dozen leather couches and substance filled pouches 
G                            Am 
Still I can't fully turn the page 

Am                     C 
You know that it's a snake eat snake world 
    G                      Am 
We slither and serpentine through 
Am                          C 
We all took a bite and six thousand years later 
     G                        Am         Am 
This apples getting harder to chew 

C         G                       Am 
Tonight, boys, we're eating like kings 
C          G                        Am 
We've all tasted death too much it seems 
C          G                         Am 
Tonight, boys, we're eating like kings
