Eb/F  D/F   Fm7 
           (Last chance) 
          Fm7 
Could you make it, baby 
       Fm7 
If you only had one more one? 
 Fm7 
(Fast break) 
              Fm7 
You think the world is waiting 
             Fm7                     Eb/F  D/F 
While you're gettin' your bikini done 
 Fm7 
(Screen pass) 
       Fm7 
Like a blind side tackle 
        fm7 
Boiling up from way behind 
 Fm7 
(Cheap shot) 
        Fm7 
You can feel it coming 
        Fm7                             Eb/F  D/F 
But you know it's gonna blow your mind 
       Fm7 
So you rock so and you skank so 
             Fm7 
Well, if you think so why not say so? 
 Fm7 
(Trash talk) 
        Fm7 
Now you tell your girlies 
          Fm7 
That it's nothin' but a burnout buzz 
 Fm7 
(Chump change) 
         Fmy 
When you pick up the pieces 
               Fm7               Eb/F  D/F 
You don't even know what it was 
 Fm7 
(Goose chase) 
         Fm7 
A little runaround action 
        Fm7 
Just to keep the background pure 
 Fm7 
(Jump cut) 
       Fm7 
To the grim conclusion 
         Fm7                     Eb/F  D/F 
That you never can tell for sure 
 

 
               Bb7            D/Bb Bb7 
Well, it's the God's eye view 
              C                Em 
Better take a long, hard look 
             Bb7 
You're gonna have me right now 
        C                Em 
Like it says in the book 
         Bb7            D/Bb  Bb7 
It's the God's eye view 
               C                 Em 
Baby, it's the queen and the rook 
        Bb7 
Chasing one lonely pawn 
       C                 Em 
No, it wouldn't take long 
 

 
 Fm7 
(Safe house) 
       Fm7 
Just a simulation of the 
          Fm7 
Mommy and daddy groove 
 Fm7 
(Mood swing) 
         Fm7 
When the game gets tired 
                    Fm7         Eb/F  D/F 
And you're ready to bust a move 
 Fm7 
(Bad luck) 
             Fm7 
There are no surprises 
         Fm7 
When the best laid plans go bust 
 Fm7 
(Deal with it) 
       Fm7 
In the glaring absence 
   Fm7                      Eb/F  D/F 
Of anything you could trust 
       Fm7 
So you rock so 
        Fm7 
(So you rock so) 
       Fm7 
It's a fact so 
        Fm7 
(It's a fact so) 
             Fm7 
Now that you know so 
              Fm7 
(Now that you know so) 
              Fm7 
Why don't you act so? 
 Fm7 
(Why don't you act so?) 
 Fm7 
(Breakdown) 
       Fm7 
Of the last resistance 
        Fm7 
And the partisans fold their tent 
 Fm7 
(Mind meld) 
       Fm7 
Like a permanent picture 
        Fm7                    Eb/F  D/F 
Of your pussy print in cement 
 Fm7 
(Big bang) 
       Fm7 
It's a Bible story 
       Fm7 
With a plot twist at the end 
 Fm7 
(History) 
    Fm7 
And whatever happened 
           Fm7                   Eb/F  D/F 
Well, it's happening here again  





         Bb7           D/Bb  Bb7 
It's the God's eye view 
                  C              Em 
This is where the deal goes down 
          Bb7 
Girl, you better get right 
         C                   Em 
With the facts on the ground 
         Bb7           D/Bb  Bb7 
It's the God's eye view 
      C                    Em 
Every thing they say is so 
     Bb7 
No o riginal sins 
    C                 Em 
The house always wins

(He says) 
           Fm7 
Me and her went walking 
       Fm7 
By the river on Friday night 
 Fm7 
(He says) 
       Fm7 
And we started talking 
        Fm7 
And she says you know it don't seem right 
 Fm7

      Fm7 
After all that's happened 
      Fm7 
And I end up with a prick like you

Well, it's too bad darlin' 
            Fm7                      Eb/F  D/F 
And there's nothing for a man to do

Better take a long, hard look 
      Bb7 
I was standing right there 
          C                Em 
When they wrote in the book 
         Bb7           D/Bb  Bb7 
It's the God's eye view 
                  C              Em 
Baby, baby take a long hard look
