Verse 1:
C Am
Paramedics brave and strong
Dm C G
Up before the break of dawn

Putting poker faces on
Dm C G
Broken bodies all day long
F Am
The neighbors heard the fight
F Am
Someone had a knife
F C Am-----Em
It must have been the wiiiiiife
Am C F
Husband's lost a lot of blood
Dm C G
He wakes up screaming oh my god
C Am
Am I gonna die, am I gonna die?
Dm C G
As they strapped his arms down to the sides
C Am
Times like these they've been taught to lie
Dm C G
Buddy just calm down you'll be alright
Verse 2
C Am
Several friends came to his grave
Dm C G
His children were so well behaved
C Am
As the priest got up to speak
Dm C G
The assembly craved relief

But he himself had given up
Dm C G
So instead he offered them this bitter cup
C
You're gonna die
Am
We're all gonna die
Dm C
Could be twenty years
G
Could be tonight
C Am
Lately I have been wondering why
Dm C
We go to so much trouble
Dm Am
To postpone the unavoidable
Dm C G
And prolong the pain of being alive
