45 (Acoustic)

[Intro]

1,2,3,4

[Verse 1]

Send away for a priceless gift

One not subtle, one not on the list

Send away for a perfect world

One not simply, so absurd

Cause in these times of doing what you're told

You keep these feelings, that no one knows

[Pre-Chorus]

So whatever happened to the young man's heart?

It's swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

[Chorus]

And I'm staring down the barrel of a .45

I'm swimming through the ashes of another life

There's no real reason to accept the way things have changed

Staring down the barrel of a .45

[Verse 2]

Send a message to the unborn child

To keep your eyes open for a while

'Cause in a box high up on the shelf

That's left for you and no one else

There's a piece of a puzzle known as life

It's wrapped in guilt and sealed up tight

[Pre-Chorus]

So whatever happened to the young man's heart?

It's swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

[Chorus]

And I'm staring down the barrel of a .45

I'm swimming through the ashes of another life

There's no real reason to accept the way things have changed

Staring down the barrel of a .45

[Bridge]

'Cause everyone's pointing their fingers

You're always condemning me

Well, nobody knows what I believe

What I believe

[Chorus]

And I'm staring down the barrel of a .45

I'm swimming through the ashes of another life

With no real reason to accept the way things have changed

Staring down the barrel

And I'm staring down the barrel of a .45

And I'm swimming through the ashes of another life

There is no real reason to accept the way things have changed

Staring down the barrel, yeah, of a .45

[Outro]

Yeah, of a .45

I'm staring down the barrel of a .45
