Am C F Am G
It's in the air you breathe and it's also in the water
Am C F Am G
It's something you can't see, you've been warned of by your mothers
Am C F Am G
You've had enough deceit, You know enough to see Join the others
Am C F Am G
When you could hardly breathe, you were wondering why you bothered
F G Am C
And they gave us seven days to renounce our wicked ways
F G Am C
Too late to make amends becase we both know how this ends

F G Am G

C F G C
So do the right thing or do nothing. What will you do when they come for you?
C F G C
Or just do what is easier. What will you do when they come for you?
C F G C
That's what I read what I swear they said to me. Nine times out of ten they lied to me
C F G G
And after all they had the guts to say Son, no one will save you now
Am F C G
We want it, they got it. They claim we'll die without it
Am F C G
But something tells me they are wrong

F G


C F G C
So what will you do when they call your name and you're not ready to go?
C F G C
Everyone will stare at you and tell you what you know
C B Am G
That you're in too deep and you can't quite keep your secrets, one and all
F G C Am
We might just make it after all, on our own
F G C C
We might just make it after all
F G C C
But we had one foot on the gas and one foot in the grave
C F G C
Everyone was laughing when we said we had it made
C F G G
Everyone was laughing when we said we had it made

C C F G


F G Am C
They gave us seven days to renounce our wicked ways
F G Am C
Too late to make amends becase we both know how this ends


C F G C
Started with six or seven, moved on to eight or nine. What will you do when they come
you?
C F G C
Nobody seemed to notice, nobody seemed to mind. What will you do when they come for you?
C F G C
Little miss demissed can't miss like a detuned radio. I cannot believe you when you tell
what you know
C F G
C
And nothing will be broken if your house is made of stone. But you will know as I do it
never be a home


Am F C G
We want it, they got it. They claim we'll die without it
Am F C G
But something tells me they are wrong

F G


C F G C
So what will you do when they call your name and you're not ready to go?
C F G C
Everyone will stare at you and tell you what you know
C B Am G
That you're in too deep and you can't quite keep your secrets, one and all
F G C Am
We might just make it after all, on our own
F G C C
We might just make it after all
F G C C
But we had one foot on the gas and one foot in the grave
C F G C
Everyone was laughing when we said we had it made
C F G G
Everyone was laughing when we said we had it made


F G


Am C F Am G
It's in the air you breathe and it's also in the water
Am C F Am G
It's something you can't see, you've been warned of by your mothers
Am C F Am G
You've had enough deceit, You know enough to see Join the others
Am C F Am G

Too late to make amends becase we both know how this end

F G

So what will you do when they call your name and you're not ready to go?

Everyone will stare at you and tell you what you know
C B Am G
That you're in too deep and you can't quite keep your secrets, one and all
F G C Am
We might just make it after all, on our own
F G C C
We might just make it after all
F G C C
But we had one foot on the gas and one foot in the grave
C F G C
Everyone was laughing when we said we had it made
C F G C
Everyone was laughing when we said we had it made
