 The whisperings, may hurt you 
F
 But the printed word might kill you

F
 But the printed word might kill you
 Am
So don't let the blue, the blue eyes fool you 
               A
They're just gelignite, loaded and aiming right between your eyes


Em
CDs and T-shirts, promos God knows - oh!
     D 
You know I couldn't last
A
Someone, please take me home

F
The teenagers, who love you, they will wake up, yawn and kill you

    Am
So don't let the blue, the blue eyes fool you
                A
They're just gelignite, loaded and aiming right between your eyes


Em

     D 
You know I couldn't last
A
Someone, please take me home
                D/F#
There's a cash register ringing and
A
It weighs so heavy on my back 
A
Someone please take me home


Em 
The critics who, can't break you
F
They somehow help to make you
Em                  
The critics who, can't break you 
F
Unwittingly they make you
   Am                  
So don't let the good days, of the gold discs, creep up and mug you
         A
No, no - No, no, no-oh!


      A                           
With evil legal eagles, you know I couldn't last
A
accountants rampant, you know I couldn't last
A
Every -ist and every -ism, thrown my way to stay 
A
And the northern leeches go on, removing, removing, removing


F
Then in the end, your royalties bring you luxuries, your royalties bring you
G
luxuries, oh but
