The Man I Killed

           G                       
When they tightly strap me in, give
     C           G
 me lethal injection
        Bm             Em    
Just a few moments to live, no 
     C                D
remorse for what I did
              G                  
It's for the betterment of man, I 
          C            G
gave the utmost sacrifice
             Bm              C    
Before more damage could be done I
           G
 took his life

[Pre-Chorus 2]
G         G/F#    Em       
There was a    split second of 
                      C
silence when the dart punctured the 
skin
      G                          
Beady eye roll back in head, body 
   D
drop from the poison
  G   G/F# Em                    
They could incapacitate me but 
     C
could not erase my sneer
Continúa después del anuncio
            G                      
I heard a thousand people screaming
              D
 while three billion others cheered
        Em       C                 D
He was gone, and I would soon be

[Verse 2]
    G                         C   
Executed by the state, all appeals
              G
 would be in vain
            Bm         Em         
I was not criminally insane, in 
   C               D
fact I was found to be
              G                    
An otherwise caring and respectable
        C        G
 member of society
           Bm               C     
A minor threat except for that one
        G
 man I killed

[Pre-Chorus 2]
G    G/F#  Em                   
As the    sedatives take effect,
          C
 I just smile and close my eyes
            G                    
There's a priest kneeling next to 
                D
me, he asks me if I realize
G G/F#   Em                     
I was   going straight to hell, 
        C
and he thought that I should know
         G                         
That the man I killed's replacement
                D
 planned this whole scenario
            Em      C         D  
and what I did had no 
     G
significance at all
