 [Intro] 
C#m
[Verse 1] 
C#m Dateline early Sunday morning
E Shots ring out without a warning
BF# No one seems to even blink in this town
 [Verse 2] 
C#m Two dead and a baby missing
E Sirens screaming in the distance
BF# A mother pleading bring my baby home now
 [PreChorus 1] 
C#m For the pink slip of an SUV
B A night cut down with tragedy
F#A His defence another generation breakdown
 
G#5 G#5G#5 G#5 Yeah, Yeah
 [Chorus] 
C#mB What is the distance
F#mA between a bullet and a gun
EB God are you listening
F#mA Or have you just given up
 [Verse 3] 
C#m Corporate countries go to war
E Behind the lies they're fighting for
BF# And black gold from an old king's soul won his round
 [PreChorus 2] 
C#m How can someone take a life
B In the name of god and say it's right
F# How does money lead to greed
A When there's still hungry mouths to feed
 
G#5 G#5G#5 G#5 Yeah, Yeah
 [Chorus]
