  Think fast with your money cause it can't get much worse

  I'm good in the neighbourhood, can play a big part
Am           C             F        C   Em
  I bought this for a thought, for a kiss, for a tale of a broken heart
Am         G           F          G     Am
  I guess we are a thing gonna him, gonna him, but they think there's a start
      C G  F
That leaves me cry- ing

Bridge:
Am        G  F
We are only living our separate lives
G  Am       C      F      C
Ex- cept we do the same things at the same times
Em  Am     G     F     G  Am
I  kept to the moral guidelines that you set
               C       F       C    Em  Am
For now I'll step towards my leader and disguise my lies like I'm king set
