[Intro]
G# C# Emaj7 F#

[Verse 1]
G# C#
Staring out my window
Emaj7 F#
Pistol in my palms
G# C#
Tears soaking my pillow
Emaj7 F#
As I write this song
G#
I caught my lady being untrue
C# Emaj7 F#
Oh, what was I supposed to do? Oh, no
G#
I had to prove myself a man
C# Emaj7 F#
‘Cause clearly she don’t think I can, oh, no

[Chorus]
G# C# Emaj7 F#
Singing, yes, I shot my baby down that day
G#
Singing, yes
C# Emaj7
That n**** too, he stole my place
F#
(Shot down, shot down my baby, I shot down)

[Interlude]
G# C# Emaj7 F#
(x2)

[Verse 2]
G# C#
Step inside the room, I still have dreams about it

What did I see?
Emaj7 F#
His arms are wrapped around you like he’s been about it

I couldn’t believe
G#
Expression that I never seen you wear before
C#
Clothes that I bought strewn on the floor
Emaj7
Quietly I closed that bedroom door
F#
Headed downstairs to thе kitchen drawer

[Chorus]
G# C# Emaj7 F#
Singing, yes, I shot my baby down that day
G#
Singing, yes
C# Emaj7
That n**** too, he stole my place
F#
(Shot down, shot down my baby, I shot down) my place

G# C# Emaj7 F# x4

G#
Singing, yes
C# Emaj7 F#
I shot my baby down that day
G#
Singing, yes
C# Emaj7 F#
That nigga too, he stole my place, my place

[Outro]
G# C# Emaj7 F#
