[Verse]

D
Better the devil you know

Confess, I guess I was the lesser of the two evils

                      G
Convalesce about the stress the test caused

Had me up and on the board Now I'm chairman of the board I'm coming back for sequels

       D
Do you ever really think you've won? Now you're feeble

Nothing on this far-gone son, all these people

       G
They're laughing at the shit I've done

I've sailed the seven seas to catch a breeze And took it back home in a trunk

       A
Met a matador who said it's my woman is more

Terrifying than any red bull that he saw

      Bm
Set a sail, set a rail, met them kings and queens

There's so many trust, just the amphetamines

         A
Well, her dream would've been that the boy's got clean

That her father never got his heart

                         G
Caught up in the man's machine

Well, it seems even if I got away

                       A
There's always a part of me willing to stay

[Chorus]

D
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel

All we've got to keep us together

G
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel

G                 
Underground traveling overcast weather

D
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel

All we've got to keep us together

G
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel

G             
Maybe one day things'll get better

D
Check, check, check, check

G
One, two, three, kick

[Verse]

      D 
I met Gods and monsters, women from Wisconsin

Swimming in linen with another that's not their partner

   G
Chicago be selfish drum, on my journey I met Ernie

So he spoke like Al Capone got drunk

      D
I'm a lover, I'm a brother, my son

I'm a traitor and I'm on the run, watch 'em come

                     G
As she said while she driving in her car

Getting drunker than the bar She's been smacking hard shoulders since before she's legal

      A
I'm a dragnet right on through the city of sin

It's the hard done bastards taking it in

        Bm
Well, I see what I say, save it on the way

They can't sit bawling but they're bawling away

           A
Well, she cries all her tears but with all of her fears

Well, she run away, she had a place

                             G
Now all they ever see is the fears

Take it as she's seen it, get away

                                A
Well, there's always a part of us willing to stay

[Chorus]

D
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel

All we've got to keep us together

G
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel

G                     
Underground traveling overcast weather

D
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel

All we've got to keep us together

G
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel

G             
Maybe one day things'll get better

D G [Bridge]

   A
So run, run Boyo, chase it to the border, border

Should have also told her I was cannon fodder

   Bm
Would've if I could've screamed to her, shout and holler

Then I could've saved the girl from the man's machine

   A               
Run Boyo, chase it to the border, border

Should have also told her I was cannon fodder

G
Would've if I could've screamed to her, shout and holler

                                 A
Then I could've saved the girl from the man's machine

[Chorus]
