One with books, one with guns

In a (C sharp minor) crystal (A major) sense of (B major) wrong and (E major) right

Verse 2
(E major) Brother took to the gospel road
Spent his whole live saving souls
When he (C sharp minor) looked at me his (A major) blood ran cold (E major)
He (A major) didn't even try (B major)
I (E major) had no dreams, I had no plans
But a gun felt good in my right hand
The (C sharp minor) warden asked,
“How come you (A major) killed that man” (E major)
I said, “I (A major) don't know why” (E major)

Verse 3
(E major) Someone handed me a cigarette
They offered me my last request
I (C sharp minor) asked my mortal soul (A major) be blessed (E major)
By (A major) someone (E major) close to me (B major)
He (E major) came to me with trembling hands
He swore he'd never understand
I (C sharp minor) said it's just what (A major) life had planned (E major)
It's (A major) destiny (E major)

Don't (C sharp minor) waste your (A major) tears on (B major) me to (E major) night
