Author Note: This song is a 
fantastic song it reminds me of the 
Rush of Blood to the Head Era with 
the
buildup and release, really amazing.
It is really powerful I feel it 
speaks a lot about screwed up legal 
systems and racism involved
around the world.
Once I have the time I'll tab the 
whole thing out however this is the 
simple version.
Also, the Gdim is an optional chord 
in the bridge. It acts as a 
transitional chord. Sounds good but 
optional
And imo the brige sounds the best 
when you triple pick the bottom 3 
and 4 strings only for the Gm, Gdim 
and C7
Enjoy!

Everything is gettin' strained


[Interlude]

Best friends

What's that?

What's his name?

X (Standby, sir)
Gm
Alright, is that X your middle name?
         Gdim      C7
Of course, it's on a vehicle ID, 
right?
You gettin' smart? 'Cause you'll be
Gm
 in a fucking car with him
          Gdim
Fucking smartass
C7
I'm telling you

I'm asking you what the X is, is 
that your middle name?
 Gm           Gdim       C7
Of course, what is it?
Don't come back with the "What is 
                     Dm
it?" fucking shit

Talk to these fucking pigs on the 
street that way, you ain't talking 
to me that way

I don't talk to nobody in the 
streets, I don't hang with nobody

Well, then don't come to fucking 
Philadelphia, stay in Jersey
                         Gm
I have family out here

Everybody thinks they're a fucking 
lawyer and they don't know jackshit

Are you supposed to grab me like 
this?
Grab you up? I'll grab you any way I
   C
 got to
You're not protecting me while I'm 
 Am
trying, while I'm trying to go to 
work

Why don't you shut up?
