[Intro] G [Verse]
                  G          D       G                                        D       G
No Peace For The Wicked, no way, no how, if you've gone and did it you gotta pay somehow

                              D         G                                                  D      G
No use complaining about the hand that feeds, now you know that it's raining how come you talk to me?

              D      G
How come you talk to me? Yeah
[Chorus]
             C                    F        C                     F
Well, your friends in high places   won't bail you out this time

     C                      F       C               F
With all your social graces   it's like a pantomime

 C                F      C                         F
Feeling so uneasy   you can't tell friend from foe

        D
You're always looking back to see who's coming through the door
[Verse]
             G                D      G                                          D       G
You sold protection, fed the common fear, took 'yes' for an answer, you didn't see the tears

                                        D      G                                               D     G
Collecting for the loan shark with the silken fist, now you've crossed 'the company' with the Judas kiss

                D       G
They've got you on the list, yeah
[Instrumental] G F G [Bridge]
        F                                                   G   F  G
You're like a loaded heater, just about to go off on the street

     F                                                        G          D
You need a baby sitter to pick you up if you can't stand the heat, yeah
[Verse]
                  G          D       G                                        D       G
No Peace For The Wicked, no way, no how, if you've gone and did it you gotta pay somehow

                              D         G                                                  D      G
No use complaining about the hand that feeds, now you know that it's raining how come you talk to me?

              D      G
How come you talk to me? Yeah
[Chorus]
             C                   F       C                      F
Well, your friends in low places   have tightened up the screw

         C                          F          C                        F
They've made this town a nightmare,   you're trapped, what can you do?

      C              F     C                  F
The quality of mercy   is really out of reach

 D
Don't call on the ones you peeled, practice what you preach
[Instrumental Verse] G D G D G G D G D G G D G
