Standard (EADGBE)
Intro x 4
Well, you know your time has come
And you're sorry for what you've done
You should've never been playing with a gun in those complicated shadows
Well, there's a line that you must toe
And it will soon be time to go
But it's darker than you know in those complicated shadows
All you gangsters and rude clowns, Who were shooting up the town
When you should've found someone to put the blame on
Though the fury's hot and hard, I still see that cold graveyard
There's a solitary stone that's got your name on
You don't have to take it from me
But I know of what I spake
You think you're like iron and steel
But iron and steel will bend and break in these complicated shadows
No... (solo) x3
Sometimes justice, you will find, Is just dumb not color blind
And your poor shattered mind can't take it all in
All those phantoms and their shades, Should jump up on Judgement Day
And say to the Almighty "I'm still stinking of sin"
But the jury was dismissed
Took his neck and they gave it a twist
So you see, you won't be missed in those complicated shadows
You can say just what you like
In a voice like a John Ford film
Take the law into your hands
And you will soon get tired of killing in those complicated shadows
