The Man I Killed

           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            G
It's for the betterment of man, I gave the utmost sacrifice
             Bm              C               G
Before more damage could be done I took his life

[Pre-Chorus 2]
G         G/F#    Em                             C
There was a    split second of silence when the dart punctured the skin
      G                             D
Beady eye roll back in head, body drop from the poison
  G   G/F# 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

[Verse 2]
    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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
G    G/F#  Em                             C
As the    sedatives take effect, I just smile and close my eyes
            G                                    D
There's a priest kneeling next to me, he asks me if I realize
G G/F#   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
