Am
The taxman's in the pocketbook

The pressmen are by the bar
E              C                 Am
And all the world is at your door

Am
It's strange that you should lock it up

And preach an open heart
E             C                     Am
But you know what they're waiting for

C                 G             Am
You can turn your face away now
                 E
And don't think twice
C             G        Am             E
I'm just the ordinary guy you used to know
C                  G
I'm not after your money
Am             E
Or even your advice
C                 G
I believe you'll follow me
     Am              E
It's all I need to know
(to walk away)

Am
I was tempted by the devil in this deep blue swimming pool
E          C              Am
Until the devils makeup ran..
        Am
And my future's in the strangle hold of ever changing rules
E          C               Am
I don't intend to understand

C                G          Am             E
You can stop pretending now that I had you fooled
C               G       Am              E
I'm still the ordinary guy you used to know
C                  G
I'm not after your money
Am             E
To paralise my soul
C                 G
I believe you'll follow me
      Am             E
It's all I need to know
C                 G             Am            E
Promise me you'll try to understand before I go

C              G              Am            E
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
