D            C          G                 D
Sirens are a-screaming, shots ring out at night

D  C# B       G       A Asus4 Asus2 A
Movie cameras rolling in

D                 C             G                D
And there goes my hero with his head between his legs

    D   C#   B    G   A Asus4 Asus2 A
And all this time i believed in him

D               C        G            D
Now what is the sound of snow falling down

       D         C#     B    G      A Asus4 Asus2 A        
On the tombstone in the dead of the night

D              C            G            D
And who is the hound at the downtown dog pound 

           D       C#       B          G      A Asus4 Asus2 A
Who speaks english when the watchman's not in sight

G                        A
And where will you be in 1993?

D      C#     B  G        A Asus4 Asus2 A
Still sitting in the same chair?

D              C               G        D
Sinning is for sinners and I'm just a beginner

         D     C#     B    G       A Asus4 Asus2 A
But I've never really been punched there

D            C           G                 D
Hey ain't it strange how some things never change

         D       C#  B       G         A Asus4 Asus2 A   
Ain't it strange how nothing stays the same

D                          C                  G          D
You were thinking i was distressed about some universal opressed

          D    C# B       G       A Asus4 Asus2 A
But i was just depressed about my last pinball game

D                 C        G        D
I've learned to accept and not to expect

      D     C#    B     G      A Asus4 Asus2 A  
The respect and neglect that i get

D               C              G               D
I try not to forget about what hasn't happened yet

D   C# B    G       A Asus4 Asus2 A  D
And on this I place my last bet

            G         
Hey did you give what you get

         A                        D    C#       B    G   A Asus4 Asus2 A
Did you get what you give of your fair share of wear and tear

D              C             G                   D
Winning is for winners and i know spring follows winter

         D C#  B   G  A Asus4 Asus2 A     D                
But i've never really been touched there

              G                    A
You know it's hard to be nice when hate becomes your vice

        D     C#   B     G  A Asus4 Asus2 A
And you can't find peace anywhere

D                   C          G                   D
Love's just not for lovers get off your high horse brothers

D         C#    B   G   A Asus4 Asus2 A D
Drop your fists and get out of here
