F                        Dm                   Gm
I speak fast and I'm not gonna repeat myself, no
          Bb
So listen carefully to every word I say:
F                             Dm                   Gm
"I'm the only one who's gonna get away with making excuses today,
 
[prechorus]
 
Bb                  Dm              F             Bb
You're appealing to emotions that I simply do not have"
C            Bb
Blackmailed myself
         Dm                 F                C
(Cause I ain't got) Cause I ain't got anyone else
Bb
"This is a stick up
                       Dm
Give us all your inspiration"
Bb                            C
I've got the red carpet blues baby
 
[chorus]
 
F                  C              Dm           C
"So put your hands in the air and don't make a sound
                  Bb
But don't get the wrong idea
F
We're gonna shoot you
Bb                C
We're gonna shoot you
F                                   C                 Dm
And there's nothing in your head or pocket, throat or wallet
           C                    Bb
That could change just how this goes
F
No
 
We're gonna shoot you
Bb                C
We're gonna shoot you"

F                    Dm                    Bb
When I said that I'd return to you I meant more like a relapse
Bb                                                   F
Now and again I think "His and her's" "For better or worse"
                         Dm                     C              Bb
But the only ring I want buried with me are the ones around my eyes
 
[prechorus]
 
Bb                  Dm              F             Bb
You're appealing to emotions that I simply do not have"
Bb                            C
I've got the red carpet blues baby
 
 
[chorus]
 
F                  C              Dm           C
"So put your hands in the air and don't make a sound
                  Bb
But don't get the wrong idea
F
We're gonna shoot you
Bb                C
We're gonna shoot you
F                                   C                 Dm
And there's nothing in your head or pocket, throat or wallet
           C                    Bb
That could change just how this goes
F            Dm                        Bb                C
And everyone shakes to the beat with a barrel down their throat
