Showdown

Am 
Well there's crying in the kitchen 
and there's fighting on the street 
And there's cocaine in the schoolyard 
yet my heart don't miss a beat 

            A                   Am 
I can't let go, no he can't let go 

Am 
And the preacher's on the telly 
and he's handing me the phone 
Got an ulcer in his belly and a torment in his soul 

             A                   Am 
He can't let go, no he can't let go 

Fm           A          Dm 
Everybody wants a contribution 
Fm		 A              Dm 
Telling me they've got the best solution 
Fm                A           Dm 
No one wants the carousel to slowdown 
Fm                A              Dm 
Seems to me we're heading for a showdown 

( Am  A  Am ) 

Am 
And there's poison in the water 
And there's holes up in the sky 
And the children keep on asking 
"Is the planet going to die?" 
            A               Am 
We must let go, we must let go 

A          Dm           A            Dm 
Got to get fired - it's going to get hot 
                     A 
We've got to take it higher, 
                      Fm 
give it everything we got 
      A 
oh – oh 
     Am 
Oh - oh, you never know, 

Am 
Oh! Way to go!

Fm          A           Dm 
Everybody's talking revolution 
Fm          A          Dm 
Politicians offer no solution 
Fm               A                Dm 
No one seems to want to face the lowdown 
Fm                A             Dm 
Seems to me we're heading for a showdown 

Am 
For a Showdown 
A 
For a Showdown 
Am 
For a Showdown
