Take a breath,
take it deep.
“Calm your self,”
he says to me.
If you play,
you play for keeps
Take the gun,
and count to three.
I’m sweat ing now,
mov ing slow.
No time to think,
my turn to go.
And you can see my (Am)heart
beat ing.
(G)You can see it through my chest.
And I’m ter ri fied
but I’m not leav ing.
I (G)know that I must pass this test
so (E)I just pull the trig (CN.C.)ger.
