Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

played on the top 3 or four strings E-B-G-D

(11th fret) (11th) or (9th) x3

- or

Did you ever have to do the thing you swore you’d never do

Something filthy and impatient, something churlish bold and shrewd

Well sit down my boy and I’ll tell you exactly how I crawled right

through

Gather in your confidence and hear the story of a man who came

undone

- again

First you weigh up your commitments where your loyalties really lie

And if you bump into Jesus you just look him in the eye

Tell him that you’re fine silently return to sharpening your knife

Finally when the time comes think of who you really need

And close your eyes so tightly you think they’ll bleed

SAME THING - GET THE JIST?

Don’t drop your guard don’t let them know the thoughts inside your head

Just do what you’ve always done though they all wish you were dead

they’ll crush your heart your spirit and your soul but keep your eyes ahead

And you know when the time comes there’ll be nowhere new to hide

He’ll just be in your heart and you’ll lose pride

- X3

- X3 -

Never break the line

never click your heels in time

If your heart’s anything like mine that’s not the way

Don’t get comfortable down there

don’t pretend that it’s always fair

with your fingers crossed it’s not your loss

F# Em7 - Run up to F#m7

If you really want to you can stay

You can stay
