Lyrics

All my life you know I have n’t been ver y love strong.

There’s been so man y fights that I’ve fought and I’ve nev er won.

So I de (G)cid ed that I should just give up on try ing to (B)right your wrongs.

And (Em)word on the street is that (D)she did to you what you (C)did to me.

(Cm)Five, four, three, two, one… (G)Bang, bang, bang, boy, you’re go ing (B)down, down, down, boy,

to the (C)ground where you left my heart to bleed.

(Cm)Bang, she shot you; kar ma tastes so… (G)Bang, bang, bang, boy, you’re go ing (B)down, down, down, boy,

to the (C)ground where you left my heart to bleed.

(Cm)Bang, she shot you; kar ma tastes so (CN.C.)sweet.

So, un (G)for tu nate ly for girls like me, there are (B)more like you

(Em)bend ing and break ing the (D)rules that we’re mak ing ex (C)cep tions

to.

But (G)how does it feel

to swim in your (B)own

tears?

You (Em)lied and you lied and I (D)died and I died and now (C)you know

why.

(Cm)Five, four,

three, two, one…

kar ma tastes so (G)sweet.

(G)Bang, bang, bang, boy, you’re go ing (B)down, down, down, boy,

to the (C)ground where you left my heart to bleed.

(Cm)Bang, she shot you; kar ma tastes so… (G)Bang, bang, bang, boy, you’re go ing (B)down, down, down, boy,

to the (C)ground where you left my heart to bleed.

(Cm)Bang, she shot you; kar ma tastes so… (G)Bang, bang, bang, boy, you’re go ing (B)down

to the (C)ground.

(Cm)Ooh.
