[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*

[Bridge]
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
[Guitar solo #4]

[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
