Verse:
Dm9
You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
Badd4
Gotta sleep on your toes and when you're on the street
E7sus4
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
Then moving in silently downwind and out of sight
Bbmaj7sus4
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking
Dm9
And after a while you can work on points of style
Badd4
Like the club tie and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile
E7sus4
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
Ebmaj7sus4
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in
Solo 1: Dm9 Badd4 E7sus4 Ebmaj7sus4
Verse:
Dm9
You've gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
Badd4
You know it's gonna get harder, harder and harder as you get older
E7sus4
And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south, hide your head in the
sand
Ebmaj7sus4 Dm9
Just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer
Badd4 E7sus4 Ebmaj7sus4 Dm
Solo 2: C Dm C Dm Bb F Eb F Eb Dm Dm9 C7 Dm A F Em

Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C
Dm C
And when you lose control you'll reap the harvest you have sown
Dm C Dm C Dm Bb A
And as the fear grows the bad blood slows and turns to stone
Dm C Dm C Dm
C Dm
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
C Bb C Bb C Dm A
So have a good drown as you go down all alone
F A Dm
Dragged down by the stone
Bb7
Dm9
Gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Badd4
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
E7sus4
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
Ebmaj7sus4
If I don't stand my own ground how can I find my way out of the maze
Dm9
Deaf, dumb and blind you just keep on pretending
Badd4
That everyone's expendable and noone has a real friend
E7sus4
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
Ebmaj7sus4
And everything's done under the sun
And you believe at heart everyone's a killer

Who was told what to do by the man
C F C Dm
Who was broken by trained personnel
C F C Dm7
Who was fitted with collar and chain
C F C Dm
Who was given a pat on back

Who was breaking away from the pack

Who was only a stranger at home
