[N] [C]

[F]
[G] Hey, baby, I just got [C] back some time
Get the [Am] drives at me
I need to turn my [F] heart to doubt
So the deal's [G] already made
Now I gotta [C] stand and watch
While it [Am] all comes down
And the buzzards and the [F] hawks and the judges and the mob
[G] Circle round
I'll [C] hire the queen
And [Am] haul the rope
I will go in chains
[F]
Just to [G] see you free
Of the ropes [C] that bind you
And the [Am] role you play
And the pride [C] that looks you
While the big ones get away
[G]
[C] Love junkies will change the world
[Am] It quickly stays the same
And [F] money junkies buy all the smart ones
[G] Power junkies run the game
One step [C] at a time
From [Am] rarity to hail
If the bad [F] guys don't get to vain
Then the good [C] guys will
[G] With angels [C] on the table
And gangsters [Am] in the yard
Hey, don't the [F] wars come easy
Hey, don't the peace [G] come hard
I [C]
can [Am] reach the sky
I grab that [F] crescent moon
We'll look like a knight
Save [G] you from the light
From the ropes [C] that bind you
And the role [Am] you play
And the [F] game that hooks you
While the big ones [G] get away
