Man I killed

	  		G                                      C           G 
When they tightly strap me in, give me lethal injection, 
       Em             G          C                D 
Just a few moments to live, no remorse for what I did, 
               G                              C 
It was for the betterment of man, I gave the utmost 
     G 
sacrifice, 
            Em              G      C        G 
Before more damage could be done I took his life. 
            C                                D 
 
There was a split second of silence when the dart punctured 
the skin, 
      G                                   C 
Beady eyes rolled back in head, the body dropped from the 
D 
poison, 
           C                              D 
They could incapacitate me, but could not erase my sneer, 
          G                                       C 
I heard a thousand people screaming, while three billion 
        D 
others cheered, 
       G         D 
He was gone, and I would soon be... 
 
   G                          C                 G 
Executed by the state, all appeals would be in vain, 
             Em      G                C              D 
I was not criminally insane, in fact, I was found to be, 
 
 
             G               C              G Em 
An otherwise caring and respectable member of society, 
G                          C              G 
A minor threat, except for that one man I killed. 
 
       G              C              G               Em 
As the sedatives take effect, I just smile, close my eyes, 
          G                    C 
There's a priest kneeling next to me, he asks me if I 
   D 
realise, 
      G                 C            G 
I was going straight to hell, and he thought that I should 
Em 
know, 
         G              C 
That the man I killed?s replacement planned this whole 
D 
Scenario, 
           G       C          D    G 
And what I did had no significance at all.
