Without a Shot chords by John Mellencamp
Intro 1
Em
Verse 1
Dsus2
Put your guns out
on the table
Em
Throw your bullets on the floor
Dsus2
D
This weary old house can't
Em
take it anymore
Dsus2
Dm
From the ovens in the kitchen
Dsus2
Em
To the chains out in the dirt
Dsus2
Rope hanging in the bedroom
A
That's some of our dirty work
Em
Verse 2
Dsus2
The distant sleeping shadows
Em
That lie out in the yard
Dsus2
A
The wind that distorts the meanings
Dsus2
Em
Of who we really are
D
Dsus2
Saluting of ourselves
Em
As we pass by our mirrors
Dsus2
This show of phony adulation
A
Em
Just masquerades all our fears
Verse 3
Em
Dsus2
So we open up our eyes at midnight
Em
See the setting of the sun
D
Dsus2
Foundation is crumbling
Em
The inner structure's gone
Dsus2
Used up by corruption
Em
And the passage of time
Dsus2
We hope we've got
some fight left
A
Cause our children
Em
Our children are dying
Verse 4
Em
Dsus2
So we think that forgiveness
Em
Is a God given right
D
Dsus2
And equality for all
Em
Is just a waste of our time
Dsus2
With our nickel plated Jesus
Em
Chained around are necks
Dsus2
Dm
Dsus2
Handing out verses of scripture
A
Like we wrote it down ourselves
B
D

Em
Verse 5
Em
Respect that we once had
Went up the water spout
Tried to keep it secret
Em
But the secret was found out
Em
Got to thinking high and mighty
Like everything was a lock
Some now say this house
B
Em
Can be taken without a shot
Verse 6
Em
Dsus2
So the hole gets dug deeper
Em
With every wedding bell
Dsus2
And we sell each other down the road
Em
Until there's nothing left to sell
D
Dsus2
Dm
And slowly but surely
Dsus2
Em
We dis appear without a trace
D
Dsus2
We point our fin gers
at each other
A
And say what the hell happened
Em
to this place
Without a shot
Without a shot
Without a shot
Without a Shot
