INTRO: G D Am D (2x)
     G                D          Am           D
Your dreams they have led to the poor side of town

          G              D       Am          D
Where you fight your way up to a hole in the ground

     Em                D            C            D
Your old friends don't pass, so you don't make a sound

   Am             C      D
It saves you from saying, hello

   Am             C       D
It saves you from saying, hello

    G            D           Am           D
You live the old saying that boys will be boys

        G        D        Am         D
But you aren't a boy, nor women your toys

           Em              D           C              D
Well then, don't bang your drum if you don't like the noise

    Am        C          D
But you bang away and complain

Am        C          D
You bang away and complain

       G            D              Am           D
You've painted your shell, faked a smell like a rose

        G           D          Am        D
So they come within reach, but never too close

Em          D        C      D
You are the one that nobody knows

Am           C               D
You let them think that they do

    Am           C               D
Oh, you let them think that they do

     G          D           Am             D
That works for awhile, then they get their fill

       G          D              Am            D
Of the red-handed thief with his tongue in the till

        Em        D       C          D
Oh, you only love you and you always will

    Am           C         D
The lines to the exits are long

    Am           C         D
The lines to the exits are long

    G             D         Am          D
You found out too late that life is too short

           G      D                Am       D
Well, your ex-paramour hauled your ass into court

     Em         D           C        D
When you didn't pay for the child support

    Am         C       D
And you always act like the man

Am         C            D
You always act like the man
INSTRUMENTAL: G D Am D G D Am D Em D C D Am C D Am C D
       G             D            Am         D
People get more from giving, than looking to get

         G                D             Am          D
And that life you've been leading, it's leading you yet

           Em          D             C            D
There were lessons you knew that you shouldn't forget

   Am          C      D
So now you are writing them down

Am          C            D
Now you are writing them down

            G                D          Am           D
'Cause your dreams they have led to the poor side of town

          G              D       Am          D
Where you fight your way up to a hole in the ground

     Em                D             C            D
Your old friends don't pass you, you don't make a sound

   Am             C      D
It saves you from saying, hello

   Am             C          D
It saves you from saying, hello
