[Verse 1]C
Line of limousines leaves one by one
C
The prayers been prayed
C
The hymns been sung
F
Black mascara's already run
C
But the tears keep flowing
C
You can blame it on hate or blame it on guns,
C
but mamas ain't supposed to bury their sons
F
Left a hole in her heart and it still ain't done
C
The bullet keeps on goin'
[Chorus]F
Through every branch of his family tree
F
Every birthday that he'll never see
C F C
Every chance to live a good life that was stolen
F
Through the son he'll never get to raise
F
His daughter on her wedding day
Am G C F C
Wishin' it was his hands she was holdin'
Am C F
'Till every heart that's left to break is broken
C
The bullet keeps on goin'
[Verse 2]C
The grass grows back around the stone
C
And friends stop checkin' in on the phone
F
The camera crews have all moved on
C
But the wound's still open
G
The bullet keeps on goin'
[Chorus]F
Through every branch of his family tree
F
Every birthday that he'll never see
C F C
Every chance to live a good life that was stolen
F
Through the son he'll never get to raise
F
His daughter on her wedding day
Am G C F C
Wishin' it was his hands she was holdin'
Am C F
'Till every heart that's left to break is broken
Am G F
The bullet keeps on goin'
Am G F
Oh, whoa
[Bridge]C
Line of limousines leaving one by one
C
The prayers been prayed
C
The hymns been sung
F
Oh, mamas ain't supposed to bury their sons
C
The bullet keeps on goin'
[Partial Chorus] F
Through the son he'll never get to raise
F
His daughter on her wedding day
Am G C F C
Wishin' it was his hands she was holdin'
Am C F
'Till every heart that's left to break is broken

The bullet keeps on goin'
