CBb
We left the toys out in the yard
ADm
I took my wife and kids and left my home unguarded
CBb
We packed what we could into the car
ADm
No one here knows how it started
Suddenly everything was just so out of control
Am
Now I want some answers, mister, I need to know
Bb
I hear all the talk but I don't know what you're sayin'
But I think I got a good idea of the game that you're playin'
CDm
Roulette, that's the name
CBb
Roulette, that's the game now
CDm
Roulette, I don't know what they're sayin'
CBb | FC | Dm
Roulette, and everybody's playin'
CBb
I grew up here on this street where nothin' moves, just a strange breeze
ADm
In a town full of worthless memories
C
There's a shadow in my backyard
Bb
I've got a house full of things that I can't touch
A
Well all those things won't do me much good now
Dm
I was a fireman out at Riker's, I did my job
Am
Mister, I've been cheated, I feel like I've been robbed
Bb
I'm the big expendable, my life's just cancelled, null and void
But what are you gonna do about your new boy
CDm
Roulette, you're playin' with my life
CBb
Roulette, with my children and my wife
CDm
Roulette, every day the stakes get bigger
CBb | FC |
Roulette, a different finger on the trigger
DmCBb
Down by the river that talks the night speaks in searchlights
ADm
And shortwave radios squawk,
C
The police patrol the streets
Bb
But I've left behind the man I used to be,
A
Everything he believed in and all that belonged to me
Dm
I tried to find my way out to somewhere where I thought it'd be safe
Am
They stopped me at the roadblock they put up on the interstate
Bb
They put me in detention but I broke loose and then I ran
GmBb
They said they want to ask me a few questions but I think they had other plans
A4
Now I don't know who to trust and I don't know what I can believe
They say they want to help me but with the stuff they keep on sayin'
I think those guys just wanna keep on playin'
CDm
Roulette, with my life
CBb
Roulette, with my kids and my wife
CDm
Roulette, the bullet's in the chamber
CBb
Roulette, who's the unlucky stranger
CDm
Roulette, surprise, you're dead
CBb
Roulette, the gun's to your head
CDm
Roulette, the bullet's spinning in the chamber
CBb
Roulette, pull the trigger, feel the click
FC
No further danger
