chords and lyrics transcribed by John Spencer

(This is an old favourite -- always amazes me what
they do with just three chords.  I find they mostly
strum the bass portions of chords, then sometimes
play the entire chord -- see what works for you.)

Hey honey whatcha trying to say
AAA BB Piano Chord 

As I stand here don't you walk away
AA Piano Chord 
                    EE Piano Chord 

And the world comes tumbling down

EEE AA Piano Chord 

Hand in hand in a violent life
AAA BB Piano Chord 

Making love on the edge of a knife
AA Piano Chord 
                    EE Piano Chord 

And the world comes tumbling down

AA Piano Chord 

And it's hard for me to say
EE Piano Chord 

And it's hard for me to stay
AA Piano Chord 

I'm going down to be by myself
EE Piano Chord 

I'm going back for the good of my health
BB Piano Chord 

And there's one thing I couldn't do
AA Piano Chord 

Sacrifice myself to you

EE Piano Chord 

Hey baby I just can't see
AA Piano Chord 

Just what you mean to me
EE Piano Chord 

I take my hand and I fake my words
AA Piano Chord 

I'm just your long-time curse

BB Piano Chord 
                              AA Piano Chord 

And if you walk away I can't take it
EE Piano Chord 

But that's the way that you are
AA Piano Chord 

And that's the things that you say
EE Piano Chord 

And now you've gone too far
AA Piano Chord 

With all things you say

BB Piano Chord 

Get back to where you come from
AA Piano Chord 

I can't help it

Sun grows cold, sky gets black

And you broke me up and now you won't come back

Shaking hand, life is dead
AA Piano Chord 

And a broken heart and a screaming head
EE Piano Chord 

Hey hey

Under the April skies
