Bullets Lyrics & Tabs by Passenger
Bullets
guitar chords lyrics
ah well he's been collecting since the age of nine
every shiny bullet that he could find
built himself a house with the wooden floors
put the shiny bullets in a chest of draws
well his wife's long gone and the kids are grown
and trees they fall down on their own
memories fade like an old slide show
but the bullets still shine like coins in the snow
one day he took himself in to town
when the men with the truck well they came around
they took the television and the gun from the wall
and almost every bullet from the chest of drawers
well he came back home found the house in a mess
ran in to the bedroom and the old brown chest
well he didn't care much for the vcr
well he came back home found the house in a mess
ran in to the bedroom and the old brown chest
well he didn't care much for the vcr
but he cried for the space where the bullets were
well the men took the truck down in to town
and they sold all the silver they had found
but they couldn't sell the bullets ‘cos they weren't live rounds
so they dug a big hole put the bullets in the ground
well he doesn't leave the house much anymore
‘cos the men are gonna come like they did before
and he'll hold on to the three or four
bullets that they left in the chest of drawers
well the bullets that they left in the chest of drawers
