[Intro]

Throw down your guns, throw down your guns

In the name of love, I put my hands up


[Verse 1]

Is this some fucked-up situation?

I'm feeling like a mental patient

Tell me why my heart can't stop misbehaving (Ah)

Gambling won't ever save me

I run around with the wrong men for days

I'm looking for all that it takes to get wasted (Ah)


[Pre-Chorus]

Give me a hit of amnesia

So that I can forget that I need you

Give me morphine to make it much easier

(Ooh, ooh)


[Chorus]

Throw down your guns, throw down your guns

In the name of love, I put my hands up

Throw down your guns, throw down your guns

In the name of love, I put my hands up

Nobody move, nobody get hurt

Nobody move, nobody get hurt

Throw down your guns, throw down your guns

In the name of love, I put my hands up


[Verse 2]

I'll give 'em another dimension

I miss you so much, I'd rather be dead

Baby, take me on a ride up to heaven (Ha)

I had you deep in my lungs

You took the breath out of me all at once

And I'm sorry for all that I've done (Ha)


[Pre-Chorus]

Give me amnesia

So I can forget I need you

Take my morphine

I don't wanna hurt no more, babe

I don't wanna hurt no more, babe

(Ooh, ooh)


[Chorus]

Throw down your guns, throw down your guns

In the name of love, I put my hands up

Throw down your guns, throw down your guns

In the name of love, I put my hands up

Nobody move, nobody get hurt

Nobody move, nobody get hurt

Throw down your guns, throw down your guns

In the name of love, I put my hands up


[Bridge]

Nobody move, nobody get hurt

Nobody move, nobody get hurt

Nobody move, nobody get hurt

Nobody move, nobody get hurt


[Chorus]

Throw down your guns, throw down your guns

In the name of love, I put my hands up

Throw down your guns, throw down your guns

In the name of love, I put my hands up

Nobody move, nobody get hurt

Nobody move, nobody get hurt

Throw down your guns, throw down your guns

In the name of love, I put my hands up
