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

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