[Intro]
C G Am F Em Dm7 x2
Am G F x2
[Verse 1]
Am G F
I paid the full lip service to the repercussions
Am G F
Which is to say, I weighed the risk reward
Am G F
But who can budget for a fallout of these proportions?
Am G F
Take your shot, it's what you pay me for
[Pre-chorus]
Dm7 G Dm7
Nobody said you're getting away with murder
G Fmaj7
You smile into the hidden camera
G E7
with your friend
Am G F
She didn't ask if we were on or off the record
Am G F
Or what that may or what that may not mean
Am G F x2
[Chorus]
C G Am Fmaj7
When you went away, I thought that I was free
Em7 Dm7 G C
How wrong can you be? How wrong can you be?
C G Am Em7 F
Fortune hits the wall and the whole 500 fall
Em Dm7 G C
How wrong can you be? How wrong can you be?
Am G F x2
[Verse 2]
Am G F
I didn't see it at the time as a conflict of interests
Am G F
A pretty girl at the wheel of a German car
Am G F
It isn't hard to surrender to market forces
Am G F
Take your seat, become the passenger
[Pre-chorus]
Dm7 G Dm7
Nobody said we're getting away with murder
G Dm7
No looking in the rear view mirror
G E7
foot to the floor
Am G F
She didn't say I'm working for the competition
Am G F
A pretty girl at the wheel of a German car
Am G F x2
[Chorus]
C G Am E7 Fmaj7
When you went away, I thought that I was free
Em7 Dm7 G C
How wrong can you be? How wrong can you be?
C G Am Em7 F
Fortune hits the wall and the whole 500 fall
Em Dm7 G C
How wrong can you be? How wrong can you be?
[Outro]
C G Am F Em Dm7 x4 to fade out
