Chicago We Both Reached For The Gun Lyrics

We Both Reached For The Gun Lyrics

Mr. Billy Flynn in the press conference

Notice his mouth never moves, almost



Where'd you come from?

Mississippi

And your parents?

Very wealthy

Where are they now?

Six feet under



But she was granted one more start

The convent of The Sacred Heart



When'd you get here?

1920

How old were you?

Don't remember

Then what happened?

I met Amos and he stole my heart away

Convinced me to elope one day



A convent girl! A run-away marriage!

Oh, it's too terrible, you poor, poor dear



Who's Fred Casely?

My ex-boyfriend

Why'd you shoot him?

I was leavin'

Was he angry?

Like a madman

Still I said, "Fred, move along"



She knew that she was doin' wrong



Then describe it

He came toward me

With a pistol?

From my bureau

Did you fight him?

Like a tiger



He had strength and she had none



And yet we both reached for the gun

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, we both, oh yes we both

Oh yes, we both reached for the gun

The gun, the gun, the gun

Oh yes, we both reached for the gun, for the gun



Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both, oh yes, they both

Oh yes, they both reached for the gun

The gun, the gun, the gun

Oh yes, they both reached for the gun, for the gun



Understandable, understandable

Yes, it's perfectly understandable

Comprehensible, comprehensible

Not a bit reprehensible, it's so defensible



How're you feeling?

Very frightened

Are you sorry?

Are you kidding?

What's you're statement?

All I'd say is, though my choo-choo jumped the track

I'd give my life to bring him back



And?

Stay away from

What?

Jazz and liquor

And?

And the men who

What?

Play for fun



And what?

That's the thought that

Yeah

Came upon me

When?

When we both reached for the gun



Understandable, understandable

Yes, it's perfectly understandable

Comprehensible, comprehensible

Not a bit reprehensible, it's so defensible



Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both, oh yes, they both

 (Let me hear it!)

Oh yes, they both reached for the gun

The gun, the gun, the gun

Oh yes, they both reached for the gun, for the gun

  (Little louder)



Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both, oh yes they both

Oh yes, they both reached for the gun

The gun, the gun, the gun

Oh yes, they both reached for the gun, for the gun

  (Now you got it)



Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both, oh yes they both

Oh yes, they both reached for the gun

The gun, the gun, the gun

Oh yes, they both reached for the gun, for the gun



Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both

Oh yes, they both, oh yes, they both reached for the gun

The gun, the gun, the gun

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun



(Both reached for the gun)

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun

Both reached for the gun
