[Verse 1]
Am Am Em Em
Walking down an empty road I saw a man in old grey clothes, a stranger;
Am Am Em Em
passing by he smiled at me but when I looked I realised the danger.
F G C C
For his eyes they looked so empty and cold
F G C C
and something told me that I'm gonna be rolled;
F G C D G E
in my pocket only cents and dimes but then for them he'd gladly kill me.
[Verse 2]
Am Am Em Em
Walking past and walking fast I managed just to slip around a corner,
Am Am Em Em
thought he'd hear my running feet as I went pounding down the street like thunder.
F G C C
Well, I've never heard my heart beat so fast
F G C C
and I've never been so scared in the past.
F G C D E E
And I never ever realised that this place could be evil to me.
[Chorus]
F F C E
Billy Porter, you didn't tell me that I needed a gun.
F F C E
Billy Porter, when you wrote you said that this place is fun.
[Interlude]
Am Am
What have I done?
Am Am E E
Am Am E E
[Part of Verse 2] (Reprise)
F G C C
Well, I've never heard my heart beat so fast
F G C C
and I've never been so scared in the past.
F G C D G E
And I never ever realised that this place could be evil to me, let me tell ya'.
[Verse 3]
Am Am
Now, Billy's smart and Billy's tough, he's good to have,
Em Em
when the going's rough he told me:
Am Am Em Em
"Don't go out on your own at night for if you do you'll have to fight stay by me".
F G C C
Now he's teaching me each and every day
F G C C
and I think that in this place I might stay.
F G C D E E
And I never, ever realised what a roughneck I would turn out to be.
[Chorus]
F F C E
Billy Porter, you didn't tell me that I needed a gun.
F F C E
Billy Porter, when you wrote you said that this place is fun.
[Interlude]
Am Am
What have I done?
Am Am E E
Am Am E E
[End-Chorus]
F F C E
Billy Porter, you never told me that I needed a gun.
F F C E
Billy Porter, when you wrote you said that this place is fun.
F F C E
Billy Porter, you never told me that I'd be on the run.
F F C E
Billy Porter, what would father say if he saw his son.
F F C E
Billy Porter, you never told me that I needed a gun.
F F C E
Billy Porter, when you wrote you said that this place is fun.
