Walking on a Thin Line - HUey Lewis and the News [Intro] A F#m D x4 [Verse]
A      F#m         D            A           F#m          D
 Sometimes in my bed at night, I curse the dark and a pray for light

      A   F#m         D               A  F#m  D
And sometimes, the light's no, consolation 

A       F#m    D     A           F#m           D
Blinded by a memory, afraid of what it might do to me 

         A            F#m          D            A  F#m  D
And the tears and the sweat only mock my desperation
[Pre Chorus]
G5                         D                                   G5
Don't you know me I'm the boy next door?  the one you find so easy to ignore 

                     E 
Is that what I was, fighting for? 
[Chorus]
A   D  A D    A     G
Walking on a thin line, straight off the front line 

D                 D                            A  D A D A
Labeled as freaks, loose on the streets of the city 

A   D  A D    A     G
Walking on a thin line, straight off the front line 

D                                             A    A F#m D x2
Take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me
[Verse]
A         F#m       D            A        F#m           D
Taught me how to shoot to kill, a specialist with a deadly skill 

   A       F#m         D              A  F#m  D
A skill I needed to have to be a survivor 

A          F#m    D           A           F#m                  D
It's over now or so they say, well, sometimes, it don't work out that way

            A         F#m               D           A  F#m  D
Cause your never the same when you've been, under fire
[Pre Chorus]
G5                         D                                   G5
Don't you know me I'm the boy next door?  the one you find so easy to ignore 

                     E 
Is that what I was, fighting for?
