Em
One was enough to get him this far

G                               Em
And two would just complicate things

        C                       Am
He says 'you'll be sittin' pretty

B7              Em
in a dark room in the city'

Am              B7                     Em
cuz one doesn't leave room for you and me



Em
Bill was a worker in a working plant

G                               Em
he builds things that he can't afford

        C          Am     B7
but one day he'll get his revenge 

Em
it wont be pretty

C            B7                   Em
society owes him that and more



Em   G
Oh, Jesus Christ

Cadd9                       Am
He says 'I think i'm doing fine

B7
but it may be time for bed'

Em                      G
and i think 'hey, i hate this game

Cadd9                      Am
it hasn't always been this way

B7                              Em
where men are judged by their mistakes



Em
Tortured and alone but not by happenstance

G                                 Em
has heaven saved a place setting for him

C               Am
riddled with regret and sin
        B7                      Em
he's in decent shape for the shape he's in
Am                      C              Em
the world wont get the best of him again



Em   G
Oh, Jesus Christ

Cadd9                       Am
He says 'I think i'm doing fine

B7
but it may be time for bed'

Em                      G
and i think 'hey, i hate this game

Cadd9                      Am
it hasn't always been this way

B7                              Em
where men are judged by their mistakes



C       Am             Em
and he's turned his memories

        D               C/G    G
into secrets that he keeps from himself

        D       Cadd9                  Em
and it's safe to tell it hasn't done him well

C                                       Em
he's been held down and told what he can do

C                                       B7
and that's exactly what they'll try to do to you




Em
One was enough to get him this far

G                               Em

Am              B7                     Em
