And they only say they do it 'cause they know what's best for me
        C           G             C           G        riff 2
Mum and Dad wanting me to sell my brains to a factory
        C        G               C              G           riff 2
Well it feels so good, all these people looking out for me

Bridge
            F             C/E          G         Am
Now they're getting on my back because they know best
    F          C/E         G            Am
But I know I'm better than settling for less

Chorus
        riff 1          F      C/E  G
They're killing me with kindness again
riff 1    F          C/E    Am
Everybody says they're your friend
        riff 1          F      C/E  G
They're killing me with kindness again
riff 1 F          C/E    Am G F
Everybody says they're your friend

Am G F
Friend

Verse
I've got a box full of reject letters worded carefully
Tearing out my heart with a smile and a handshake
They don't have the faith I can learn to make a milkshake
As they tear down the park and build a fast food earthquake

Bridge
I couldn't stop laughing as the businessman stood
Telling us progress could only do good

Chorus

Middle
NC                           F5   A5  G5
You can kill with a handshake
NC                       F5   A5  G5
Or a pen and dotted line
NC                      F5   A5  G5
Or a kick in the balls
                          F5   A5  G5
If it's at the right time
    riff 3 (see below)
And I know people
         riff 3
Who will stab you in the back
    riff 3
And pregnant schoolgirls
               riff 3
Who give their Dad a heart attack

Bridge
       F                   C/E        G       Am
But if something's killing me it's my lack of meaning
F           C/E           G              Am
Everybody's smiling but I don't have any feelings
    F            C/E       G          Am
I'm not breaking down on account of executive
Bb
Stress
