We left...
We left the toys out in the Cyard Bb
I took my wife and kids and Aleft my home unguarded Dm
We packed what we could into the Ccar Bb
No one here knows Ahow it started Dm
Suddenly everything was just so out of control
Now I Amwant some answers, mister, I need to know
I Bbhear all the talk but I don't know what you're sayin'
But I think I got a good idea of the game that you're playin'
CRoulette, thatDm's the name
CRoulette, thatBb's the game now
CRoulette, I don't Dmknow what they're sayin'

Roulette, and everybody's playin'
I grew up here on this Cstreet where nothin' moves, just a Bbstrange breeze
In a town full of wAorthless memoriesDm
There's a shadow in my backCyard
I've got a Bbhouse full of things that I can't touch
Well all those things won't do Ame much good now
DmI was a fireman out at Riker's, I did my job
AmMister, I've been cheated, I feel like I've been robbed
BbI'm the big expendable, my life's just cancelled, null and void
But what are you gonna do about your new boy
CRoulette, you'Dmre playin' with my life
CRoulette, with Bbmy children and my wife
CRoulette, every dDmay the stakes get bigger
C Bb | F C |
Roulette, a different finger on the trigger

DmDown by the river that Ctalks the niBbght speaks in searchlights
And sAhortwave radios squawkDm,
The police patrol the stCreets
But I've lBbeft behind the man I used to be,
Everything he believed in and Aall that belonged to me
DmI tried to find my way out to somewhere where I thought it'd be safe
They sAmtopped me at the roadblock they put up on the interstate
ThBbey put me in detention but I broke loose and then I ran
ThGmey said they want to ask me a few questions but I think they had other plansBb
Now I don't know who to trust and I don't know what I can believeA4
They say they want to help me but with the stuff they keep on sayin'
I think those guys just wanna keep on playin'
CRoulette, wiDmth my life
CRoulette, wiBbth my kids and my wife
CRoulette, the buDmllet's in the chamber
CRoulette, who's tBbhe unlucky stranger
CRoulette, surprDmise, you're dead
CRoulette, the gBbun's to your head
CRoulette, the bullet's Dmspinning in the chamber
CRoulette, pull the tBbrigger, feel the click
FNo further daCnger
