Intro:

G G/F# Em x3


Verse 1:
G             G/F#             Em
Rode down the stream of broken promises
        C         C/B       Am
To that cheap and twisted hotel
          G        G/F#                      Em
Where the bad luck stories are carved in the walls
            C     C/B      Am   A B D (bass run)
It's just a step away from hell

Bridge:
D
Oh the static haunts the radio
        Em                  C    C B A (bass run)
And the lights have blown a fuse
D
The chief of police, he whispers sweet
        Em                  C   A B C (bass run)
Saying, he's got nothing to lose


Pre-Chorus:
C                         G    A B C (bass run)
Don't catch you on barbed wire
C                             G
A thief is trying to open the safe
G           D                  Em
And all the fugitives, in this deep dark prison
C               D   G C
Are trying to escape


Chorus:
C                       G
It ain't worth worrying baby
C                       G
Into this place we're hurled
      D                   Em
Oh it ain't worth, crying no more tears
   C                    G
Oh baby it's a thieve's world
   C                    G
Oh baby it's a thieve's world


Verse 2:
G         G/F#              Em
Cast iron chances have been locked down here
C       C/B            Am
Thrown upon us in this pit
G                G/F#              Em
Even the antique windows that were in this place
     C            C/B                Am   A B D (bass run)
Were stolen and replaced with counterfeits


Bridge:
D
Lost pirates wail over buried treasure
          Em                   C       C B A (bass run)
That they misplaced in the old sea days
D
The whores from the corner, they're all dolled-up goners
         Em                 C   A B C (bass run)
And it's in this place they stay


Pre-Chorus:
C                      G              A B C (bass run)
Angry puppets in their courtroom suits
C                        G
Fighting for the verdict still
G         D               Em
While the raven sits on a dying branch
    C                   D   G C
Overlooking your window sill


Chorus:
C                       G
It ain't worth worrying baby
C                       G
Into this place we're hurled
      D                   Em
Oh it ain't worth, crying no more tears
   C                    G
Oh baby it's a thieve's world
   C                    G
Oh baby it's a thieve's world


Verse 3:
G      G/F#           Em
Wanted posters in the lobby they're rotting
C      C/B      Am
Wanted dead or alive
             G      G/F#                  Em
Well they'll all be caught but not by the law
            C          C/B    Am  A B D (bass run)
But by that voice that they deny


Bridge:
D
We're all villains and bandits in this place
    Em                    C   C B A (bass run)
And everyone is picking a side
D
There ain't no way out, there's only one grand central
          Em               C  A B C (bass run)
And we're all condemned to die


Pre-Chorus:
C                 G    A B C (bass run)
Believe it or not baby
C                      G
Cause I aint the rumor kind
G        D            Em
Well the devil needs, someone like you
   C               D    G C
To manipulate your mind


Chorus:
C                       G
It ain't worth worrying baby
C                       G
Into this place we're hurled
      D                   Em
Oh it ain't worth, crying no more tears
   C                    G
Oh baby it's a thieve's world
   C                    G
Oh baby it's a thieve's world


Verse 4:
G             G/F#             Em
Rode down the stream of broken promises
        C         C/B       Am
To that cheap and twisted hotel
          G        G/F#                      Em
Where the bad luck stories are carved in the walls
            C     C/B      Am   A B D (bass run)
It's just a step away from hell


Bridge:
D
Oh the static haunts the radio
        Em                  C    C B A (bass run)
And the lights have blown a fuse
D
The chief of police, he whispers sweet
        Em                  C   A B C (bass run)
Saying, he's got nothing to lose

C                         G    A B C (bass run)
Don't catch you on barbed wire

A thief is trying to open the safe
G           D                  Em

It ain't worth worrying baby
C                       G
Into this place we're hurled
      D                   Em
Oh it ain't worth, crying no more tears
   C                    G
Oh baby it's a thieve's world
   C                    G
Oh baby it's a thieve's world

Oh baby it's a thieve's world
