The Man I Killed

Chords
pin

G                          C	   G
When they tightly strap me in, give me lethal injection,
       Am	      F	         C		  D
Just a few moments to live, no remorse for what I did,
            G			       C	   G
Was for the benefit of man, I gave the utmost sacrifice,
            D 		    C		    G
Before more damage could be done I took his life.

            Em                                C                  G
There was a split second of silence when the dart punctured the skin,
      	                                  D                G
Beady eyes rolled back in head, the body dropped from the poison,
            Em                         C            G
They could incapacitate me, but could not erase my sneer,
                                                  D              G
I heard a thousand people screaming, while three billion others cheered,
        Em       C            D
He was gone, and I would soon be...


   G			     C			G
Executed by the state, all appeals would be in vain,
          Am		F	     C		     D
I was not criminally insane, in fact I was found to be,
	     G		  	           C	    G
An otherwise caring and respectable member of society,
        D	          C		 G
A minor threat except for that one man I killed.

        Em                             C                  G
As the se-datives take effect, I just smile and close my eyes,
                                                 D         G
There?s a priest kneeling next to me, he asks me if I realize,
        Em                            C                     G
I  was going straight to hell, and he thought that I should know,
                                                 D            G
That the man I killed?s replacement planned this whole scenario,
           Em      C         D        G
And what I did had no significance at all.
