I noticed the chords on some of the other links were off, and I decided to put
together a correct version. Played along to the song, sounds good.
I don't take credit for this, its mix and matched from the others who have posted.
Chords Used:
- Em
- D/F#
- G
- Csus2
- G7M/C
- Am
- F#
A C can be substituted for the Csus2 and G7M/C to simplify.

Send away for a priceless gift

Send away for a perfect world

In these times of doing what you're told

Keep these feelings, no one knows.

Whatever happened to the young man's heart.

Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart.

[Chorus]
Em D
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45

Swimming through the ashes of another life.

No real reason to accept the way things have changed

Staring down the barrel of a 45.

Send a message to the unborn child

Keep your eyes open for a while

In a box high up on the shelf

Left for you no one else

There's a piece of a puzzle known as life

Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart.

Always condemning me

Nobody knows what

I believe

I believe
