[Intro] | Am | Am | Am | Am | | Am | Am | Am | Am | | Am | Am | Dm | Dm | | F | E | Am | Am | | Am | Am | Dm | Dm | | F | E | Am | Am | [Verse 1]
            Am                          Dm
Well, I'm standing by a river, but the water doesn't flow

   F                      E          Am
It boils with every poison   you can think of

        Am                                 Dm
And I'm underneath the street light, the delight of joy I know

F                  E                  Am
Scared beyond belief, way down in the shadows
[Bridge]
           C
And the perverted fear of violence

           G
Chokes the smile on every face

F                               E
Common sense is ringing out the bells
[Chorus]
Am                            Dm
  This ain't no technological breakdown

   F               E       Am
Oh no, this is the road to hell
[Slide Solo] | Am | Am | Dm | Dm | | G | G | C | G/B | | Am | Am | Dm | Dm | | F | E | Am | Am | [Bridge]
            C
And all the roads jam up with credit

            G
And there's nothing you can do

     F                       E
It's all just bits of paper, flying away from you
[Verse]
    Am                                          Dm
Oh, look out world, take a good look, what goes down here

         F                       E              Am
You must learn this lesson fast,   and learn it well
[Chorus]
Am                              Dm
  This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway

   F                 E
Oh no, this is the road

F              E
  This is the road

F              E          Am
  This is the road ... to hell
[Outro Solo] | Am | Am | Dm | Dm |
| F   | E   | Am  | Am  |
