[Verse 1]
Am Am F E
There is a man with no face And a name I don't remember.
Am Am F E
Who lives in a house in the middle of the woods.
Am Am F E
And he said once 'Son, don't you laugh out loud
F E
for they are listening, Oh they are listening
Am Am F E
Ooooooooooh you've got to be strong.
Am Am F E
Am Am F E
Ooooooooooh you've got to keep holding on.

Now it's just a matter of time

[Verse 2]
Am Am F E
They provide the paint for the picture perfect masterpiece
Am Am F E
that you will (paint on!) the insides of your eyelids;
Am Am F E
Can you possibly see anything you want to see?
F E
No (Hell No!) There's nothing wrong with the way I see.
Am Am F E
and he wanted to be a soldier in the next great war.
Am Am F E
he wanted to kill and fight and maim but not be told what he was fighting for.
Am Am F E
And that's the way it's going to have to be my friend,
F E
And that's the way it's going to have to be my friend,
[Horn fill]

[Verse 3]
Am Am F E
I passed a man on the corner in the city yesterday singing
Am Am F E
'Yada yada yada and tomorrow it'll never end'
Am Am F E
and I never thought I'd live to see another sunny day
F E
but I'm here and I fear I'll be here till the end.
[Chorus]
Am Am F E
So watch your mouth. Or you're going to make a grave mistake.
Am Am F E
Hold your tongue. Or you're going to catch a bullet in the head.
Am Am F E
So watch your mouth. Or you're going to make a grave mistake.
F E
Don't die for anything less than the best of life.

Am F
The things you said went to your head,
C G
But you never tried to understand:
Am F
What they'll take: you will never take back, cause they take, (what they take) what
C G
they can because they can from you.
Am F
You follow me and you follow me but you never ask why.
C G
And I wonder what you're under could this be another piece of the
Am F
'I don't know I just do what they say because
C G
they say what to do in a matter of fact way'
Am F
But don't stop because you might get burned.
C G
And you might just learn to stand on your own two feet.
Am F
And I think that it's neat how you learn to
C G
repeat everything that you hear in the street so well.
Am F C G (Am)
You learn to repeat everything that you hear so well.
Am F C G (Am)
You learn to repeat everything that you hear so well.
[Interlude]
Am (strum with the horn blasts: buh ... buh buh ... buh )
(Normal Speed)
[Verse 3]
Oh well..
Am Am F E
And everyone was resting because they thought it was the end.
Am Am F E
And even if it wasn't they decided they'd pretend.
Am Am F E
And somewhere in the distance I could hear him whispering
F E
'You can fight all you want you'll never win in the end'.

Ai, Ai, Ai, Ai,
Am Am F E
Sometimes in the evening when I'm lying in my bed
Am Am F E
I am taken to the forest to the isolated shed.
Am Am F E
And I wake with his words resonating in my head.
F E
And I can't stop thinking about the gist of what he said.
[Chorus]
He said:
Am Am F E
Watch your mouth. Or you're going to make a grave mistake.
Am Am F E
Hold your tongue. Or you're going to catch a bullet in the head.
Am Am F E
Watch your mouth. Or you're going to make a grave mistake.
F E
Don't die for anything less than the best of ...
F E
Everyone settles for the rest not the best of ...
F E Am E Am
I will die for no less than the best of life.
