Am 
The taxman's in the pocketbook 

The pressmen are by the bar 
E              C                 Am 
And all the world is at your door 

Am 
It's strange that you should lock it up 

And preach an open heart 
E             C                     Am 
But you know what they're waiting for 

C                 G             Am 
You can turn your face away now 
                 E 
And don't think twice 
C             G        Am             E 
I'm just the ordinary guy you used to know 
C                  G 
I'm not after your money 
Am             E 
Or even your advice 
C                 G 
I believe you'll follow me 
     Am              E 
It's all I need to know 
(to walk away) 

Am 
I was tempted by the devil in this deep blue swimming pool 
E          C              Am 
Until the devils makeup ran.. 
        Am 
And my future's in the strangle hold of ever changing rules 
E          C               Am 
I don't intend to understand 

C                G          Am             E 
You can stop pretending now that I had you fooled 
C               G       Am              E 
I'm still the ordinary guy you used to know 
C                  G 
I'm not after your money 
Am             E 
To paralise my soul 
C                 G 
I believe you'll follow me 
      Am             E 
It's all I need to know 
C                 G             Am            E 
Promise me you'll try to understand before I go 

C              G              Am            E 
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know 
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know 
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know 
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know 
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know 
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know 
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
