Key: :[A#m] (w: Chris Rea)

INTRO:
[A#m] [D#m] ^[F#] ^[F] [A#m]
[A#m] [D#m] ^[F#] ^[F] [A#m]

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

INSTRUMENTAL:
[A#m] [D#m] [G#] ^[C#] ^[F]
[A#m] [D#m] ^[F#] ^[F] [A#m]

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

INSTRUMENTAL:
[A#m] [D#m] ^[F#] ^[F] [A#m] : [Multiple Times]
