^N.C.It's ^Emidnight at a liquor store in T^A/Eexas ^N.C.Benea^Eth the neon, close up has just begu^B7n. ^N.C.When a ^Eboy walks in the door and points a ^A/Epistol ^F#m ^N.C.He can't ^Efind a job with ^B7man but he has found a ^Egun

[Verse 2]

^N.C.Well he ^Epulls it off, no trace of confront^A/Eation ^N.C.He let the ^Eold man run out in the ^B7street. ^N.C.But he ^Eknows soon they come, guns ^A/Eblazing ^F#m ^N.C.And all ^Eready he can ^B7feel that great rel^Eief.
