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

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
Ebmaj7sus4Dm9
Just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer

Verse:
DmCDmCDmCDmCDmC
And when you lose control you'll reap the harvest you have sown
DmCDmCDmBbA
And as the fear grows the bad blood slows and turns to stone
DmCDmCDmCDm
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
CBbCBbCDmA
So have a good drown as you go down all alone
FADm
Dragged down by the stone
Bb7Dm9
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 born in a house full of pain
CFCDm
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
CFCDm7
Who was told what to do by the man
CFCDm
Who was broken by trained personnel
CFCDm7
Who was fitted with collar and chain
CFCDm
Who was given a pat on back
CFCDm
Who was breaking away from the pack
CFCDm
Who was only a stranger at home
CFCDm
Who was ground down in the end
CFCDm
Who was found dead on the phone
CFCBbA
Who was dragged down by the stone
FA7Dm9
Who was dragged down by the stone
