  Don't be tempted by the shiny apple,

[Verse 2]
D
  I was a pretty young girl once
A
  I had dreams, I had high hopes
E
  Married a man, he stole my heart away
D
  He gave his love but what a high price I paid
    A            E            A
And all that you have is your soul

[Verse 3]
D
  Why was I such a young fool
A
 Thought I'd make history, making babies was the best I could do
E
  Thought I'd make something that could be mine forever
D
 Found out the hard way one can't possess another
    A            E            A
And all that you have is your soul
 
| A Asus4 A | Asus2   | Asus2 A Asus2 |

[Verse 4]
D
  I thought, thought I could find a way
A
 to beat the system, to make a deal and have no debts to pay
E
  Take it all, I'd take it all, I'd run away
D
Me for myself, first class and first rate
    A            E            A
But all that you have is your soul
 
| A Asus4 A | Asus2   | Asus2 A Asus2 |
 
[Chorus]

all that you have is your soul.

[Verse 5]
D
  Here I am, I'm waiting for a better day
A
  A second chance, a little luck to come my way
E
 A hope to dream, a hope that I can sleep again
D
 And wake in a world with a clear conscience and clean hands
       A            E            A
'Cause all that you have is your soul
 
| A Asus4 A | Asus2   | Asus2 A Asus2 |

  Don't be tempted by the shiny apple,

  don't you eat of a bitter fruit.

  Hunger only for a taste of justice,
