Lyrics

Leave me out with the waste, this is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place to be thinking of you
It's the wrong time for somebody new
It's a small crime and I got no excuse

And is that all right, yeah?
I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that all right, yeah?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it?
Is that all right, yeah?
I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that all right, yeah, with you?

Leave me out with the waste, this is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place to be cheating on you
It's the wrong time she's pulling me through
It's a small crime and I got no excuse

And is that all right, yeah?
If I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that all right, yeah?
If you don't shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it?
Is that all right, yeah?

[swiftlerify]

thanks for uppload :)! this will be the next song to learn after hallelujah!

[Beauxbatonsrpg]

this is great! Just one remark; when you've got the intro bit, you wrote: 2nd, 4th fret on G, then 5th on G and A, but then you write D. I think this should be the 2nd fret on D. ;)
