   Karma police,   arrest this man
    F/C       Em  G/F#    G               Am

   Karma police, I've given all I can,
      F/C   Em  G/F#   G           Am
it's not enough. I've given all I can,
      D         G       C    C/B  Am   Bm   D
but we're still on the pay - ro - oll

  This is what you get, when you mess with us
