Bm   A   Bm (x2)

(Verse)
Bm          A         Bm
Mother, you taught me good,
            Bm             A             Bm
you made me want to do the things that I should,
            Bm                  A         Bm
you told me Jesus's gonna make me a saint,
              Bm               A       Bm
gonna take my hand and make my life complete

(Chorus)
        G              A       Bm 
but the narrow path is closing in
                  G              A      Bm
sometimes I think I'm too fat to fit on it
         G                          A           Bm
when the curtains close because the clouds roll in
              E
its taking me right back down
C          G
right back down
G     A    Em          A        Em
right back down to the same dungeon

Bm   A   Bm (x2)

(Verse)
         Bm                      A       Bm
When the cold heartedness of the ghost of the beast
   Bm                    A       Bm
is beating on you like a state police
        Bm                    A            Bm
and the only friends that you make are the ones
     Bm                      A        G              
that take take take and they take take take and they
A       Bm   A   Bm
got big guns

             Bm   A   Bm
If I had a mind
               Bm    A   Bm
sharper than a needle
                 Bm   A   Bm
I'd reinvent the wheel

(Bridge)

and take us all
G                    A                   
home, where we would know that we've got 
E          G                  A
windows to close when it gets cold
                  Bm   A   Bm
but I ain't got no        (x4)

(Chorus)
        G              A      Bm 
but the narrow path is closing in
                  G              A     Bm
sometimes I think I'm too fat to fit on it
         G                          A          Bm
when the curtains close because the clouds roll in
              E
its taking me right back down
C          G
right back down
G     A    Em          A        Em
right back down to the same dungeon
       A        Em
to the same dungeon (x2)
       A        Bm   A    Bm
to the same dungeon

Bm   A5   Bm (x3)
