--- verse
Am Am Am D C
Got my single rifle
Got my grassy knoll
Got my major malfunction
And I'm playin' out my role

Cm Cm Cm F Eb
When you've got a date with destiny
I can see it on your face

Am Am Am D C
Sometimes I think I see that sign
on the whole damn human race

C#m C#m C#m F# E
You don't need to know the reason
But it's not an act of hate

Cm Cm Cm F Eb
We need made-to-order martyrs
I'm turnin' sinners into saints

 --- instrumental verse (keyboard)

--- verse
Got my secret code instructions
Got my bloody glove
Got my methods and my motives
I only kill the ones I love

I'm history in the making
I help eternity along

I'm waiting for resurrection
I'm not gonna wait too long

You don't need to know the reason
But it's not an act of hate

We need made-to-order martyrs
I'm turnin' sinners into saints

 --- instrumental verse (guitar)

--- verse
Got my school clocktower
Got my thirty-ougt-six
Got my new brain tumor
I'm not doin' this for kicks

God is my co-conspirator
We're workin' on the plan

I've always been such a nice boy
Why can't they understand?

You don't need to know the reason
But it's not an act of hate

We need made-to-order martyrs
I'm turnin' sinners into saints

--- outro -- stay on the Am progression
Am Am Am D C
I'm turnin' sinners into saints
turnin' sinners into saints
sinners into saints
sinners into saints
sinners into saints
(etc)
We're turnin' sinners into saints
