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

       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
