      and the bodies        you left lying around

A  A/G#   A/G         Bm* D*
talking it out the last hour
     A          G      F#              Bm* D*
i'm through trying now  it's a big relief
A      G         F#
i'll be staying down
             Bm         Bsus4/A Bm7/A  E   G*
where no-one else gonna give    me     grief
Gm         A*(x02220)
mess me around
                   D Dsus2 Dsus4 D F#
just make it over


D                    Db5        D
your opinion was the law of the land
Bm                              Bm6        Bm         
a single thing that i couldn't always understand
A       A/G#   A/G               Bm* D*
i lived it     out  from hour to hour
    A     G         F#              Bm* D*
the only thing that never really changed
    A      G     F#
you ran me all around
               Bm          Bsus4/A Bm7 E G*
and dragged me down at the end of the day
Gm                  A*
don't keep me around
                   D  Dsus2 Dsus4 D F#
just make it over

situations that i passed up for this
A    A/G#  A/G              Bm* D*
one way   love i took for ours
     A      G      F#                 Bm* D*
i'm through trying now it's a big relief
A       G       F#
