Intro: Am Am7 Am C G (4x) 

Am  Am7 Am C      G        Am    Am7 Am   C    G 
One engine barely makes it away,  
Am  Am7 A  C      G        Am Am7 Am   C   G 
One engine barely makes it away.  
Am   Am7 Am      C              G 
Hold on, they're breaking their bonds,  
Am   Am7 Am      C              G 
Hold on, they're breaking their bonds,  
Am  Am7 Am C      G        Am Am7 Am   C  
One engine barely makes it away.  


 
D       G      D 
And the martyr line,  
       G      D 
It's a bitter pill.  
        G       D 
And the line of right,  
        C      G        Am Am7 Am   C    G 
It will barely make you feel. 
 

Instrumental: Am Am7 Am C G

I'd like to get you in some kind of way,  
Am   Am7 Am  C          G            Am Am7 Am  C   G 
Some kind of trouble in some kind of way.  
Am Am7 Am         C       G 
Bear down they'll run you aground,  
Am Am7 Am         C       G 
Bear down they'll run you aground,  
Am Am7 Am   C      G           Am Am7 Am  C   D    
We all must suffer awhile in a way.  

 
D       G      D 
And the martyr line,  
       G      D 
It's a bitter pill.  
        G       D 
And the line of right,  
        C      G        Am Am7 Am    
It will barely make you feel. 
C        G      Am Am7 Am 
Make you feel 
C      G        Am Am7 Am 
Barely make you feel 
C        G    
Make you feel

And the line of right,  
        C      G        Am Am7 Am   C    G 
It will barely make you feel.
