[Verse 1]
E C#m B E
Have you ever had a gun pointed directly at you
E C#m B E A
And there isn’t any doubt it’s loaded and ready to go
C#m B E A
Well I have twice and I don’t recall any heroes on the scene
C#m B E A
Just adrenaline and fear and a few souls who have unfortunately seen
[Chorus]
E B E
A lot of bang bang shoot ’em up movies
E B E
People putting people in the ground
E B E
Bang bang shoot ’em up movies
C#m
Meant to turn my head

Fiction and commerce conspire

Of bang bang bang shoot ’em up movies

[Verse 2]
E C#m B E
I live in the country because I love peace and quiet
E C#m B E A
But all of my neighbors have closets full of machine guns
C#m B E A
And every Sunday they’re out there, pretending to be Rambo
C#m B E A
And I’m in here pretending like Sunday is still sacred
[Bridge]
G#m C#m
Conceal and carry your fear
A E
Don’t need no weapons here
G#m C#m
I’ve had all I can stand
A B B7
Of the bloodthirsty leading man
[Verse 3]
E C#m B E
If you think there isn’t any connection between
E C#m B E A
All the violence you see in real life and what’s on the screen
C#m B E A
Well it seems painfully clear to me
Am B B7
That you’re living in a fantasy
[Chorus]
C#m B7 E
Another bang bang shoot ’em up movie
C#m B7 E
Living room like a battle ground
C#m B7 E
A bang bang shoot ’em up movie
C#m
Meant to push the envelope
G#
Make me say ‘wow’
A E
If I never hear gunfire again I’ll be fine
E B C#m
So please turn it off I’m tired
A B E G#m C#m
Of bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang
A Am
Bang bang bang
