C    F              G
In '89, I was doin' fine 
C    F      G
In '92, the bloodhounds bent on you 
C                   F
Baby had a road map, now it has been lost 
E           Eb               G
The wind is biting down your neck 
G                     C
Don't get bent out of shape, my friend 
   F                     C
No don't get bent out of shape
            F
Though your heart is all twisted 
    C
And every word seems fake 
G                     C
Don't get bent out of shape 


C              F          G
Take bricks of shame, you build to live 
C            F           G
Hang up some ??? on your ribs 
C                             F
Leave that lonesome shack and let the waters rise 
E               Eb               G
Otherwise you're choking on your tears 
G                     C
Don't get bent out of shape, my friend 
   F                     C
No don't get bent out of shape 
              F
Though you're sick of yourself 
             C
And it's too late to escape 
G                     C
Don't get bent out of shape 


C       F                G
Cut the crap and cut the beans 
C           F            G
Launch your eyeball-like machines 
C                      F
All your grievin' will only make you ill 
   E                   Eb             G
If time won't kill ya, something else will 
G                        C
So don't get bent out of shape, my friend 
F                     C
Don't get bent out of shape 
F
Though your heart is twisted 
C
And every word seems fake 
G                     C
Don't get bent out of shape 

F                     C
Don't get bent out of shape 
F                     C
Don't get bent out of shape, my friend 
G                     C
Don't get bent out of shape


James.
