verse 1 
E               C                 A 
  You sang your swan song to the dogs 
                 C                 G                          E 
‘Cause they make mince meat of the dreams you hung your boots on 
              C                    A 
So you cut it out, well your sins cost 
            C                         G                       E 
While money talks to your conscience, looking like a fool for love

verse 2 
E                C               A 
  You drove your Rolls into the swamp 
           C                G                         E 
You stole away like a thief reeling from the sticker shock 
                  C              A 
Of the price they put upon your soul 
           C                      G                      E 
You buy it back from the burning ashes of the devil you know

  Dear life, come and pick me up 
                            G 
  Dear life, I think the button’s stuck 
E                              C
