VERSE 1:
Well I'm
[A#m] standing by the river
but the
[D#m] water doesn't flow
It ^
[F#] boils with every ^
[F] poison
you can
[A#m] think of
VERSE 2:
And I'm
[A#m] underneath the street light
the de-
[D#m]-light of joy I know
^
[F#] Scared beyond be-^
[F]-lief
way down in the
[A#m] shadows
BRIDGE:
And the per-
[C#]-verted fear of violence
chokes a
[G#] smile on every face
[F#] Common sense is ringing, out the
[F] bells
[A#m] This ain't no technological
[D#m] breakdown
Oh ^
[F#] no, this is the ^
[F] road to
[A#m] hell

BRIDGE 2:
And as the roads
[C#] jam up with credit
and there's
[G#] nothing you can do
[F#] It's all just bits of paper,
[F] flying a way from you
Oh
[A#m] look out world take a good look
look who's
[D#m] down there
You must ^
[F#] learn this lesson fast, ^
[F] and learn it
[A#m] well
OUTRO:
[A#m] This ain't no upwardly mobile
[D#m] freeway
Oh ^
[F#] no, this is the ^
[F] road
^
[F#] This is the ^
[F] road
^
[F#] This is the ^
[F] road to
[A#m] hell
