Verse 1:

B minorBm
I am a soldier baby


B minorBm
Who works just like a slave

Sweating through the pain of digging his foxhole that he know is just a grave


B minorBm
You trust me don't you baby?

B minorBm
You'd hand your life to me


B minorBm
Let's walk along the wire and watch the muzzles flash like lightning


E minorEm                               B minorBm
A augmentedA smile safe-crackers understand, is rendering this steady hand obsolete


E minorEm                              B minorBm
You thought you caught my slight of hand, but you could never understand


B minorBm
No not me


Verse 2:

B minorBm
Father was a charming man with much hidden up his sleeve


B minorBm
I wonder if this is what he planned when he taught his tricks to me

The youngest was a clever boy cracking calculus by three

  B minorBm
The eldest was a practical and obsessively clean


B minorBm
Then there was me:


B minorBm
I was born a charming man with silver tongue, pearl teeth


B minorBm
This's never how it's 'sposed to end, we're promised all we dreamed


E minorEm
The envy of the Everyman our family seemed complete


E minorEm
Our father was a charming man, our mother a serene


B minorBm
But now I'm on the run again - this hotel's home to me


B minorBm
They found the other skeleton face down in the stream


  E minorEm
The youngest was still tucked in bed


E minorEm
That way they thought he was asleep


E minorEm
They moved the mirror from his mouth


                B minorBm
The fog that should remain was not to be seen


B minorBm
Not to be seen


Verse 3:


B minorBm
I am the doctor darling

Who used to operate

Only t'watch another woman waste away

You trust me don't you baby?

Yeah you'd hand your life to me


B minorBm
Let's set this barn on fire


B minorBm
And watch the flames eat up the roof beams


B minorBm
A augmentedA smile safe-crackers understand


B minorBm
Is rendering this steady hand


B minorBm
Obsolete


E minorEm
You thought I must have broken in


E minorEm
But there's no crime in coming in


B minorBm
They hand me the key


Verse 4:

B minorBm
Floating on the wind again


B minorBm
On the tail of my quarry


   E minorEm
On a woman weak for charming men


E minorEm
Who's holding what I need


    B minorBm
She'll leave her window cracked for me


B minorBm
And I'll draft in like the breeze


B minorBm
My father was a charming man and I learned it all from he


  E minorEm
The brother's born a wondersmith


E minorEm
We started as a team


   B minorBm
Like complimenting cogs and gears we built a head of steam

The tragic flaw of charming men


E minorEm
Is exactly as it seems

Too much grease


B minorBm
Can break down a machine

B minorBm
Pour another round on me

And race the sunrise down the highway

Is rendering this steady hand


E minorEm
Obsolete


B minorBm
The charm and confidence of men


B minorBm
Can jam the bullets in your gun


B minorBm
And stop heartbeats
