(E Am) 

Verse 
E                    Am 
Paid the Piper for your damned religion 
E                    Am        B 
Lookin' up at the stars for signs of it 
E                    Am 
Bet on mercenaries like twin race cars 
E                    Am        B 
Tell me why this corruption ain't all your fault 

Pre-Chorus 
F#m        B 
Waiting by the yard your fine 
F#m        B 
Children's guns they fire by night 
F#m        B 
Bullets in the dark 
Am 
Your life it's hard 

E                  B 
So you bring it up baby 
F#m                 A 
Just let it down again 
E                  B 
And say the world has screwed you 
F#m                A 
Because you're buying everything 
E                  B 
There's a price to be in heaven 
F#m                A 
Cuz lord it ain't for free 
E                  B 
You need divine intervention 
F#m           A 
Come sanctify me 

Verse 
E                     Am 
Wait for him in the back he's got your dough 
E                     Am            B 
They've got to be taxes so let the murders grow 
E                     Am 
What's wrong with this boy his neck is snapped 
E                     Am           B 
You better run from the police cuz they've got your ass 

Pre-Chorus 
F#m                 B 
Waiting by the yard your fine 
F#m                 B 
Children's guns they fire by night 
F#m              B 
Bullets in the dark 
Am 
Your life it's hard 



E             B 
So you bring it up baby 
F#m           A 
Just let it down again 
E             B 
And say the world has screwed you 
F#m           A 
But you're buying everything 
E             B 
There's a price to be in heaven 
F#m           A 
Cuz lord it ain't for free 
E            B 
You need divine intervention 
F#m         A 
Come sanctify me 

Bridge 
E 
Run Jack Run, Run Jack Run… 


E                    B 
So you bring it up baby 
F#m              A 
Just let it down again 
E                 B 
And say the world has screwed you 
F#m                B 
But you're buying everything 
E                   B 
There's a price to be in heaven 
F#m                A 
Cuz lord it ain't for free 
E                B 
You need divine intervention 
F#m          A 
Come sanctify me
