You Give Death A Bad Name By Sufjan Stevens & Angelo De Augustine

Standard Tuning
No Capo
7/4 Time

[Verse 1]
Em D
Shot to the skull or a strike to the brain
Em D
As you withdraw, you give death a bad name
Em D
Can you be stopped or can evil be slain?
Em D
Is there something to be lost to surrender the pain?

[Verse 2]
Em
You're just a shade of something betrayed
D
Watch as you fade into the reservoir
Em
Can you exist? Shade of the oculist
D
No consciousness, less than a metaphor
Em D

[Verse 3]
Em D
What was once dead is now coming for you
Em D
The television said it's the right thing to do

[Chorus]
Em
Give me a name, more than a flame (More than a flame)
D
Can it contain more than a metaphor?
Em
Show me your face, give it some breathing space
D
Feel my embrace, empty the reservoir
Am G

[Verse 4]
Am G
Was it for profit or was it for gain?
Am G
You gave it your all, you gave life a bad name

[Verse 5]
Am
Sentries trembling, voices assembling (voices assembling)
