Verse 1
[F]I know what you think in the morning, [C]when the sun shines on the ground,
[Dm]And shows [Bb]what you have done, [F]it shows [C]where your mind has gone.
[F]And you swear to your parents, [C]that it will never happen again,
[Dm]I know, [Bb]I know, [F]what that means, [C]I know.

[Bb]That you all [F]have guns, [C]and you never put the safety on.
[Gm]And you all [F]have plans, [C]to take it, to take it, don’t take it, take
it, take it.
Chorus
[F]I’m trying, I’m trying to sleep. [C]I’m trying, I’m trying to [Dm]sleep.
But I can’t, [Bb]but I can’t, when you [F]all have [C]guns for hands.
[F]I’m trying, I’m trying to sleep. [C]I’m trying, I’m trying to [Dm]sleep.

Verse 2
[F]Let’s take this a second at a time. [C]Let’s take this one song, this one
rhyme.
[Dm]Together, [Bb]let’s breathe. [F]Together, [C]to the beat.
[F]But there’s hope out the window, [C]so that’s where we’ll go.
[Dm]Let’s go [Bb]outside and all join [F]hands but until then you’ll [C]never
understand.
Pre-Chorus

Rap
Third time, rapping starts
[Dm]We’ve turned our hands to guns, trade in our thumbs for ammunition. I must
[Bb]forewarn you of my disorder, my [F]condition.
‘Cause when the sun sets, it upsets what’s left of my invested [C]interest,
interested in putting my fingers to my head.
[Dm]The solution is I see a whole room of these mutant kids, [Bb]fused at the
wrist I
simply tell them they should shoot at this.
[F]Simply suggest my chest and this confused music is [C]obviously best for
them to turn
their guns to a fist.

[F]I’m trying, I’m trying to sleep. [C]I’m trying, I’m trying to [Dm]sleep.
But I can’t, [Bb]but I can’t, when you [F]all have [C]guns for hands.
