Chorus

C             G74
 So I focus on what I've been promised,
D7                  G4
 And it tore us open,and bleed us dry of our
(stop playin)
dignity and money

Repeat intro

Verse 2
C                 G4        G74          D7
  It's under control, so keep holding it together
C                       G4         G74              D7
  And things just fall apart but you know we can't wait forever

Break (same as last time)

So, come try keep this, keep this, you grit your teeth
And do your job, they'll never know the difference
Keep it going one day, a month, a year or more
Ignore that sinking feeling

Chorus (same as the first one except at the end instead of finishing on ...and money, go
to the begining and start the chorus again this time ending the same as the first chorus)

Intro

Interlude

D7(strum lightly)
well we should have seen it coming
                               (should have seen it..)

we should have seen it coming
                          (should have seen it..)

we should have seen it coming
                          (should have seen it..)
    C(strum once then end)     
we left ourselves wide open...

Chorus (same as second chorus except gentle slow struming gradually building up to catch
up with the regular speed when you reach the G4 chord the first time, then on the
second time there finger clicking and a harmonica going on in the background and it ends
without the ...and money part going straight into the next verse)

C                           G74              D7                          G4  
Well maybe can all retain a bit of ourselves, remember who we were keep on moving
                (So I focus on what I've been promised,)
C                           G74
Put things in perspective, try to learn a lesson
                (and it tore us open)
D7
Its not life or death...
G4
Its only business...
