[G] [D]
[G] [D] I could make you scared [G] if you [D] want me to I'm not prepared but [G] if I have [D] to
I could make you scared it's [G] kinda [D] what I do
If you're prepared [G] here's what [D] I propose to do
You're in Russia [Dm] and more a [A] million works of art
[D] Are whisked out to the wood
When [C#m] [D] the Nazis [G] find the [A] whole place dark
[D] [C#m] They'll think [D] God's left [G] the [D] museum for good
I could make you scared that's [G] [D] what I do
If you're prepared if [G] I have [D] to
I'll make you scared and [G] you pay me [D] to
That's the deal now [G] here's what I [D] can do for you
[A] [G] There's a focus [A] group that can prove
[G] This was [D] all nothing but cold calculation
[E] [D] [G] Tests [A] [E]
[D] [G]
[D] have shown that [G] suspicious [A] or hostile
[D] Their lives need [G] not be assured [D] truth be told
[A] [D] They can live a long [A] long while [D] tickled to death [G] by their own cards
[D] If you make me scared that's [G] what you [D] do
If I'm unclear can [G] [D] I get out of this thing with me and you
If you feel scared [G] you'll [D] be confused
I gotta say this [G] sounds a [D] little beyond anything I'm used [A] to
There's a [G] precious few [A] [D] that [A] can prove
At the root [G] this is [D] all nothing but cold calculation
Clearly [G] [A]

entranced [G] you're leaning back [A] now
[D]
To fang destroyer limps into the bay
Down at the beach it's [Gm] attracting quite [A] a crowd
[D] As kids wade through blood [G] out to it to play
[D] You made me scared [G] you [D] did what you set out to do
I'm not prepared you [D] really had me going there for a minute or two
You said you made me scared too [G] I [D] wasn't sure I was getting through
I've gotta go it's [G] [D] been a pleasure doing business with you
