[Verse]
D5 A G B5 A5
I'm not gonna climb
D5 A G B5 A5
G ladder for the rest of my life
D5 A G B5 A5
Said that and stood back
D5 A G B5 A5
And you walked away before they could react
B5 A5 G5
Hearing catcalls from police cars
G5 D A5 B5
And they say "What you gonna do about it dressed the way you are?"
B5 A5 G
There's a very common lie
G D A5
They say you're asking for it when you're walking home alone at night
[Chorus]
D5 C#6 B5 A5
They say the only thing that stops a bad man with a gun
G5 D
is a good man with a gun
B5 A5
The lies they scare in you
D5 C#6 B5 A5
The only thing that stops a bad man with a gun
G5 D
is a good man with a gun
B5 A5 D5
The lies they use to control you
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
D5 A G B5
So you turn and walked away
A5 D5 A G B5 A5
Forgot everything they taught you till that day
D5 A G B5
And started arguing eloquently
A5 D5 A G B5 A5
As to whether jet fuel could melt steel beams
B5 A5 G5
Hearing catcalls from a construction yard
G5 D A5
They'll say "Take it as a compliment, they're only being nice"
B5 A5 G
There's a far too common lie
D A5
And you carry keys between your knuckles when you walk alone at night
[Chorus]
D5 C#6 B5 A5
They say the only thing that stops a bad man with a gun
G5 D
is a good man with a gun
B5 A5
The lies they sell to you
D5 C#6 B5 A5
The only thing that stops a bad man with a gun
G5 D
is a good man with a gun
B5 A5 D5
The lies they use to control you
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
D5 C#6 B5 A5
It's the trophy wives raising trophy wives raising children on TV
A5 D5 D
Scared of people like you and me
D B5 A5
Just don't ask questions you'll sleep peacefully
A5 D5 C#6 B6 A5
We will not go out in silence and we will not go quietly
A5 D5 D
Nah jet fuel can't melt steel beams, I've watched enough
B5 A5
Conspiracy documentaries, yeah
[Chorus]
D5 C#6 B5 A5
The only thing that stops a bad man with a gun
G5 D
is a good man with a gun
B5 A5
The lies they use to control you
D5 C#6 B5 A5
The only thing that stops a bad man with a gun
G5 D
is a good man with a gun
B5 A5 D5 A G
The lies they use to control you
B5 A5 D5 A G B5 A
Use to control you
