Am
Well, the crooks are out, and the streets are gray
You know I wouldn't have it any other way, yeah
Your mother's words, they're, they're ringin' still
But your mother don't pay our bills, yeah

Chorus:
  Am            Em   Dm   Am
A sinister kid, is a kid who
Am                Em  Dm Am
Runs to meet his maker
Am                          Em   Dm   Am
A drop dead sprint from the day he's born
Am             Em   Dm   Am
Straight into his makers arms
And that's me, that's me
The boy with the broken halo
That's me, and that's me
The devil won't let me be

I got a tortured mind, and my blade is sharp
A bad combination in the dark
If I kill a man in the first degree
Baby, would you, would you flee with me? Yeah

Chorus:
A sinister kid is a kid who
Runs to meet his maker
A drop dead sprint from the day he's born
Straight into his maker's arms
And that's me, and that's me
The boy with the broken halo
And that's me, that's me
The devil won't let me be

Alright
Got it, Carney

Chorus:
A sinister kid is a kid who
Runs to meet his maker
A drop dead sprint from the day he's born
Straight into his maker's arms
And that's me, and that's me
The boy with the broken halo
That's me, and that's me
The devil won't let me be
