VERSE 1:
Well I'm

[G#m] water doesn't flow
It ^
[B] boils with every ^
[A#] poison
you can
[D#m] think of
VERSE 2:
And I'm

the de-

[A#]-lief
way down in the
[D#m] shadows

And the per-
[F#]-verted fear of violence
chokes a
[C#] smile on every face
[B] Common sense is ringing, out the

BRIDGE 2:
And as the roads
[F#] jam up with credit
and there's
[C#] nothing you can do
[B] It's all just bits of paper,
[A#] flying a way from you
Oh

look who's
[G#m] down there
You must ^
[B] learn this lesson fast, ^
[A#] and learn it
[D#m] well
OUTRO:
