[Verse 1]
A
This life surrounds you
A
The guns are loaded
A
This a kind of tension
A
Hard not to notice
A
Right
A
Do what you're told
A
Gotta keep your eyes wide
A
On this long, narrow road
 
 
[Chorus]
A6
Little bit too high (Little bit)
A6
A little bit too low (Little bit)
A6
Get a little bit out of line (Little bit)
A6                        E
My baby won't make it home
 
 
[Verse 2]
A
Poor kid, they caught him
A
Without his license
A
That ain't why they shot him
A
They say he was fighting
A
So (so)
A
That's what we're told (that's what we're told)
A
But we all know (but we all know)
A
That ain't how the story goes
 
 
[Chorus]
A6
(High!) Mhm, little bit too high (Little bit)
A6
A little bit too bold (Little bit)
A6
A little bit out of line (Little bit)
A6                            E
Now my baby won't make it home

[Verse 3]
A
Oh, life surrounds you
A
Hard not to notice
A
Pay attention to the
A
Path before us
 
 
[Chorus]
A6
Little bit too high baby (Little bit)
A6
Little bit too low (Little bit)
A6
Little bit out of line (Little bit)
A6                           E
My baby won't make it a home

[Verse 3]
A
You feel surrounded
A
Maybe you're confused
A
Maybe you're confounded
A
What is there to do
 
 
[Chorus]
A6
Little bit from you (Little bit)
A6
A little bit from me (Little bit)
A6
Simple as it gets (Little bit)
A6                     E
We set each other free

[Outro]
A
(Little bit)
A
(Little bit)
A
Little bit from you (Little bit)
A
From me (Little bit)
A
Simple as it gets (Little bit)
A
Setting each other free
