[Verse 1] (Riff 1)
G7
Everybody shouting, working up a sweat
G7
Stepping over lines, you know what happened next
G7
More trouble, than anyone can use
G7 E5 F5 F#5 G7
It’s a pre-determined thing, you lose your right to choose

[Verse 2] (Riff 1)
G7
No way to turn it around
G7
You got no more time, no time to calm yourself down
G7
Once you press the button, man, it’s coming to a head
G7 E5 F5 F#5 G7
Pretty soon, babe, you’ll be a long time dead

[Bridge]
Eb Bb/D
Little brother, I’m telling you now
C
Your pride can take a hit
Eb Bb/D
Little brother, take a deep breath
C
Cool off, man, forget about it

[Chorus] (Riff 2)
G7
Drop the weapon
G7
Kick it away
G7
Drop your gun
N.C.
Look the other way
G7
Drop the weapon
G7
Live another day
G7
Drop your blade
N.C.
Listen to what I say

[Verse 3] (Riff 1)
G7
Who you trying to impress? You making a bid
G7
To be a big shot brother, but you’re just a small kid
G7
Now your reputation got a minor stain
G7 E5 F5 F#5 G7
It’ll be washed away by tomorrow’s rain

[Bridge]
Eb Bb/D
Little brother, I’m telling you now
C
Your pride can take a hit
Eb Bb/D
Little brother, take a deep breath
C
Cool off, man, forget about it

[Chorus] (Riff 2)
G7
Drop the weapon
G7
Kick it away
G7
Drop your gun
N.C.
Look the other way
G7
Drop the weapon
G7
Live another day
G7
Drop your blade
N.C.
Listen to what I say

[Interlude] 1:51
Em
No sound of silence
D6
Just streets of violence
C
We’re in overload
A
Wrong side of the road
Em
Oh, San Francisco
D6
Where the hell did you go?
C
We have enough of that
