Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
There is
Em 
no murder here
G 
You've never drawn blood
Em 
You've never killed nobody
Gm 
G 
You've known only love
Em 
You've never known hunger
G 
That's what I say
Em 
You stand below here
G 
'Til the end of your days
You've never seen
Em 
a dead- eye look
G 
Straight through to the back of your skull
Em 
You may have read about it in books
G 
Em 
G 
Em 
just as well
G 
Em 
If you saw a wrist wide open
G 
in the inner city and still
Em 
You would never sing murder
Gm 
G 
You'd say I never will
Em 
If you had stabbed your best friend
G 
In the driveway of his girlfriend's
Em 
G 
whining street home
Em 
You would never say shit
G 
You would lie there forever alone
If you had hung yourself
Em 
in a bedsit
G 
After a night sniffing glue
Em 
You would be fifteen
And the world would
G 
have forgotten you
Em 
If you put a bullet through your left eye
G 
You wouldn't hear anything else
Em 
But your solo father crying
And your mates getting pissed
G 
on the porch of your house
Em 
If you had overdosed before
you were twenty
Because you had never been
G 
kissed
You wouldn't sing songs
Em 
G 
You'd never be missed
Em 
There is no murder here
G 
I wish to see no blood
Gm 
Em 
Cold time on the darkness
G 
I wish to know love
Em 
Cold time on the darkness
G 
I wish to know love
Gm 
Cold time on the darkness
Em 
A 
G 
I wish to know only love
