Verse 2

You know it never quite got rid of you

I keep seeing you around

No one ever disappears

Not even when they're in the ground

That bullet of redemption

Didn't quite redeem

It doesn't really work that way

If you know what I mean

Verse 3
C 
You know it  (C major) moved at some velocity
E 
Faster  (E major) than the speed of sound
Am 
But just  (A minor) like buckshot
F 
It scattered  (F major) all around
C 
We have to  (C major) follow its trajectory
E 
 (E major) Like a poison dart
Am 
And it nev (A minor) er  stops moving
F 
C 
And now it's  (F major) stuck inside my  (C major) 
E 
 (E major) heart

Well I wish  (C major) I'd known better

Instead of turning  (E major) you away
Am 
I wish  (A minor) I'd said something
F 
But there was  (F major) nothing I could say
C 
That  (C major) bullet of redemption

 (E major) You know it missed the mark
Am 
It might  (A minor) kill a person
F 
But it can't  (F major) kill their spark

Verse 5
C 
Cos  (C major) that's like an angel
E 
 (E major) Hovering around
Am 
Hanging  (A minor) on my shoulder
F 
With a whispering  (F major) sound
C 
Weighing  (C major) down my conscience
E 
Like  (E major) a piece of lead
Am 
Rip (A minor) ping through my cortex
F 
And talking  (F major) in my head
C 
That  (C major) bullet of redemption
E 
Well you can  (E major) hear the ricochet
Am 
Cos it nev (A minor) er  really vanishes
F

Just keeps  (A minor) blow (F major) in' me away
