Angel of death

[Verse 1]
Am                      F
Let me tell you a story 'bout black
C                               E
The one memory, and the one who threw it right back
Am               F
He was down so I took a ride
C                                      E
He moved the best way outta there so I took his advice

[Chorus 1]
Am F C           E
 Oh, two seconds flat
Am        F                C               E
If I'd've know he would've treated me like that
Am F  C           E
Whoa, two seconds flat
Am           F              C            E
How was I to know he woulda done me like that?

(continue with the same chord interchange and rhythm as above)

[Verse 2]
Am              F
He had an empty gaze
C                   E
And his eyes like a bear
Am      F
Took me thoroughly
C                                     E
I threw the coat away and just like a fox he said

[Chorus 2]
Am F C            E
Oh, who's lookin' at ya?
Am        F             C               E
Who was a good kid when God was lookin' after ya?
Am F  C              E
Whoa, who'll make it through?
Am           F                C            E
How was I to know it would've done this to you?

[Verse 3]
Am                          F
He made his move then I was down all alone
C                E
I kept askin' to come up for luck
Am                           F
I would take it and he would turn it in
      C
Wait, let me catch my breath
E
That's black if you can catch him with it
Am                F
I was someone who believed in sin, he said
C                   E
I think I know just who that is

[Chorus 2]
Am F C            E
Oh, who's lookin' at ya?
Am        F             C               E
Who was a good kid when God was lookin' after ya?
Am F  C              E
Whoa, who'll make it through?
Am           F                C            E
How was I to know it would've done this to you?

[Verse 4]
Am            F
Dead man now, once was a friend
C                                E
Ran all the way upstairs just to make my defense (save me, save me)
Am                        F
Threw me in the bag with ice and a slab
       C                                    E
Can of coke down my throat, almost his whole hand fittin' in (oh, hows it stop, yeah)

[Verse 5]
Am                             F
First I was amused, closest to death ever been
C                                       E
When the bright light went away I knew death was settin' in
Am                F
If I knew I would tell ya
C                      E
To keep trouble off, I tell ya
Am              F
You're the next one to get
C                                      E
Left with the story, that's when you go mad, that's black

[Chorus 3]
Am F C                E
Oh, who's not lookin' at ya? (angel of death)
Am          F                C            E
Who'll be a good kid now that I'm lookin' after ya?
Am F C                E
Whoa, who'll make it through?
Am           F                  C                  E
How was I to know black would've turned from me to you?
