[Intro] (4/4)
Em9  Fmaj7*  Bsus2*  Bb*
 
[Verse]
    Em9
You gotta be crazy
    Em9
You gotta have a real need
      Fmaj7*
Gotta sleep on your toes and when you're on the street
    Fmaj7*                                            Bsus2*
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
     Bsus2*
Then moving in silently downwind and out of sight
Bb*
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking
     Em9
And after a while
        Em9
you can work on points of style
         Fmaj7*
Like the club tie and the firm handshake
  Fmaj7*
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile
    Bsus2*
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
        Bb*
So that when they turn their backs on you
Bb*
You'll get the chance to put the knife in
 
 
[Guitar solo #1]
Em9  Fmaj7*  Bsus2*  Bb*
 
[Verse]
       Em9
You've gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
              Fmaj7*
You know it's gonna get harder, harder and harder as you get older
    Bsus2*
And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south, hide your head in the sand
Bb*
Just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer
 
[Instrumental] (Drums go half tempo)
Em9  Fmaj7*  Bsus2*  Bb*

Em       D               Em  D  Em          D                    Em  D  Em  D
And when you lose control       you'll reap the harvest you have sown
Em     D              Em  D  Em                                  Fmaj7*    B  B B/G B/F#
And as the fear grows        the bad blood slows and turns to stone
Em           D                       Em          D                 Em  D  Em  D
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
D         C    D/C          C  D/C      Baddb6 B
So have a good drown as you go down all alone
B       B/G  B/F#   Em
Dragged down by the stone
 
[Instrumental] (6/8 time)
Em  Bb*
 
[Verse] (4/4, main tempo)
Em9  Fmaj7*  Bsus2*  Bb*
 
Em9
Gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Fmaj7*
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Bsus2*
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
   Bb*
If I don't stand my own ground how can I find my way out of the maze
Em9
Deaf, dumb and blind you just keep on pretending
     Fmaj7*
That everyone's expendable and noone has a real friend
       Bsus2*
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
    Bb*
And everything's done under the sun
    Bb*
And you believe at heart everyone's a killer

[Outro]
 
        G         D             Em    D
Who was born in a house full of pain
        G              D           Em    D
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
        G            D         Em    D
Who was told what to do by the man
        G         D             Em    D
Who was broken by trained personnel
        G           D          Em    D
Who was fitted with collar and chain
        G       D          Em    D
Who was given a pat on the back
        G         D            Em    D
Who was breaking away from the pack
        G            D     Em    D
Who was only a stranger at home
        G      D           Em    D
Who was ground down in the end
        G     D           Em    D
Who was found dead on the phone
        G       D           Fmaj7*       B
Who was dragged down by the stone
        B       B/G  B/F#   Em9
Who was dragged down by the stone
