Tom: G
G C G
When they tightly strap me in, give me lethal injection,
Bm Em 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,
Bm C G
Before more damage could be done I took his life.
Em C
There was a split second of silence when the dart punctured
the skin,
G D
Beady eyes rolled back in head, the body dropped from the
poison,
Em C
They could incapacitate me, but could not erase my sneer,
G D
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,
Bm Em 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,
Bm C G
A minor threat, except for that one man I killed.
Em C
As the sedatives take effect, I just smile, close my eyes,
G D
There's a priest kneeling next to me, he asks me if I
realize,
Em C
I was going straight to hell, and he thought that I should
know,
G D
That the man I killed's replacement planned this whole
Scenario,
Em C D G
And what I did had no significance at all.
