[E]
[Am]
[F]
[E] [A]
Out [Am] of the station and [B] through the [E] arcade
[Am] Past the antique shops [Dm] of Regent's Parade
To an [B] innocuous [Am] London address
A [B] quick glance around and [Ab] then down the wet steps
[Am] God only knows what keeps [B] bringing me [E] here
[Am] Gambling [C] with everything [Dm] that I hold dear
One careless word in [Em] [Am] establishment ears
And [B] bang goes the knighthood, the [Ab] wife and [E] career
[Em] You make me feel, you make me [D] feel something
And feeling something beats
[G] Feeling nothing at all, and nothing at all [Am] is what I feel
All the rest of the [F] time
If someone sees, if someone [G] hears something
I know it's coming, the fear is making me ill
But then [B] fear is part of the [E] thrill
[Am]
[B] [E]
[Am]
[Dm] [F] [E]
[A] They [Am] taught me discipline [B] at [E] boarding school
[Am]
The consequences of [Dm] breaking the [B] rules
[Dm] They said we're just [E] being cruel to be kind
As [Bm] they beat [B] me to within an [Ab] inch of [E] my life
[Am] So train me, restrain me [B] and teach me [E] to kneel
[Am] Bind me and grind me [Dm] beneath your high heels
Crack goes the whip and [Am] if someone should tell
I'll [B] [E] close the knighthood [Am] as well
[C] [A]
