E5
One was enough to get him this far

G5                               E5
And two would just complicate things

        C5                       A5
He says 'you'll be sittin' pretty

B5              E5
in a dark room in the city'

A5              B5                     E5
cuz one doesn't leave room for you and me



E5
Bill was a worker in a working plant

G5                               E5
he builds things that he can't afford

        C5          A5     B5
but one day he'll get his revenge 

E5
it wont be pretty

C5            B5                   E5
society owes him that and more



E5   G5
Oh, Jesus Christ

C5                       A5
He says 'I think i'm doing fine

B5
but it may be time for bed'

E5                      G5
and i think 'hey, i hate this game

C5                      A5
it hasn't always been this way

B5                              E5
where men are judged by their mistakes



E5
Tortured and alone but not by happenstance

G5                                 E5
has heaven saved a place setting for him

C5               A5
riddled with regret and sin
        B5                      E5
he's in decent shape for the shape he's in
A5                      C5              E5
the world wont get the best of him again



E5   G5
Oh, Jesus Christ

C5                       A5
He says 'I think i'm doing fine

B5
but it may be time for bed'

E5                      G5
and i think 'hey, i hate this game

C5                      A5
it hasn't always been this way

B5                              E5
where men are judged by their mistakes



C5       A5             E5
and he's turned his memories

        D5               C5    G5
into secrets that he keeps from himself

        D5       C5                  E5
and it's safe to tell it hasn't done him well

C5                                       E5
he's been held down and told what he can do

C5                                       B5
and that's exactly what they'll try to do to you




E5
One was enough to get him this far

G5                               E5
And two would just complicate things

        C5                       A5
He says 'you'll be sittin' pretty

B5              E5
in a dark room in the city'

A5              B5                     E5
cuz one doesn't leave room for you and me
