Chords with lyrics

Intro:
E MajorE E A augmentedA E MajorE
C# minorC#m BB E MajorE A augmentedA

E MajorE        E MajorE
She was raised a Protestant
A augmentedA        E MajorE
I was raised by wolves
C# minorC#m       BB     E MajorE  A augmentedA
Both of us saw dignity in vain
E MajorE           E MajorE
The stretching out in paradise
A augmentedA        E MajorE
It wasn?t in the cards
C# minorC#m           BB       E MajorE  A augmentedA
See, neither of us were ready for the rain

BB
Guess I was caught off-guard
    C# minorC#m
When I heard the news last week
BB
Ran into a friend of mine
     C# minorC#m
With the word on the street

E MajorE                E MajorE
That the life that you chose to lead
      A augmentedA    E MajorE
Had the desired effect
     C# minorC#m      BB
That you hit the ground running
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
The day that you left
      E MajorE         E MajorE
That you?re playing for every side
      A augmentedA        E MajorE
That you?re going for every kill
  C# minorC#m    BB
But I don?t believe it
  E MajorE    A augmentedA
And I never will
E MajorE
Never will

E MajorE E A augmentedA E MajorE
C# minorC#m BB E MajorE A augmentedA

E MajorE       E MajorE
Maybe it?s all dogs and bones
A augmentedA       E MajorE
Chasing every tail
  C# minorC#m       BB       E MajorE  A augmentedA
And howling at the injustice of the night
  BB    BB
And if I misjudged you
   C# minorC#m       C# minorC#m
Well, honey, that?s on me
   A augmentedA         A augmentedA
But I really do hope you found a way
  A augmentedA      A augmentedA
To get what you need

E MajorE                E MajorE
And the life that you chose to lead
      A augmentedA    E MajorE
Had the desired effect
     C# minorC#m      BB
That you hit the ground running
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
The day that you left
      E MajorE         E MajorE
That you?re playing for every side
      A augmentedA        E MajorE
That you?re going for every kill
  C# minorC#m    BB
But I don?t believe it
  E MajorE    A augmentedA
And I never will


E MajorE             E MajorE
Are you wondering where it all goes?
    E MajorE         E MajorE
Are you living the way you should?
    A augmentedA         A augmentedA
Are you taking the time to listen?
   E MajorE       E MajorE
Is it doing you any good?
    BB         BB
Are you wresting with the demons?
    A augmentedA        A augmentedA
Are you moving the party forward
    E MajorE
In your time?


    E MajorE           E MajorE
Are you looking to change the world?
      E MajorE          E MajorE
Or have you already changed your mind?
    A augmentedA        A augmentedA
Are you keeping the Ten Commandments
      E MajorE         E MajorE
Or are you leaving ?em all behind?
    BB        BB
Are you practicing your pirouettes?
      A augmentedA      A augmentedA
Or are you going in the line this time?

E MajorE


BB                BB
?Til the life that you chose to lead
    C# minorC#m   C# minorC#m
Had the desired effect
    A augmentedA       A augmentedA
Did you hit the ground running
  A augmentedA      A augmentedA
The day that you left?
    BB         BB
Are you playing for every side?
    C# minorC#m       C# minorC#m
Are you going for every kill?
   A augmentedA     A augmentedA
Well, I don?t believe it
A augmentedA
And I never will
