VERSE 1

A
Sulkin' 
                               E
walkin' 'round the city after dark 
                       A
need protection from street thugs 

who clip the tires 
                  E
and rip the doors off rugs 

and cowards 



CHORUS

A
and all this life we've glorified 

robbin' from the blind 
        E
it's not easy, you see 
A
don't think I don't know sympathy 

my victims in my shadow 
        E
starin' back at me 



VERSE2

A
not me, I'm knockin 

tip toe outside a stranger's door 
E
casually let myself in 
A
fill pockets with 
                        E
trinkets, purses, china antique armoirs 

 

CHORUS

A
and all this life we've glorified 

robbin' from the blind 
        E
it's not easy, you see 
A
don't think I don't know sympathy 

my victims in my shadow 
        E
starin' back at me 


                   A
as robbers in my thoughts 

they tell me what to think 
                     E
they're hiding in my clothes
                                 A 
crawling in the kitchen sink
