(Verse)
B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
Mother, you taught me good,
B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
you made me want to do the things that I should,
B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
you told me Jesus's gonna make me a saint,
B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
gonna take my hand and make my life complete
(Chorus)
G+G A augmentedA B minorBm
but the narrow path is closing in
G+G A augmentedA B minorBm
sometimes I think I'm too fat to fit on it
G+G A augmentedA B minorBm
when the curtains close because the clouds roll in
E MajorE
its taking me right back down
C majorC G+G
right back down
G+G A augmentedA E minorEm A augmentedA E minorEm
right back down to the same dungeon
B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm (x2)
(Verse)
B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
When the cold heartedness of the ghost of the beast
B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
is beating on you like a state police
B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
and the only friends that you make are the ones
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
that take take take and they take take take and they
A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
got big guns
B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
If I had a mind
B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
sharper than a needle
B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
I'd reinvent the wheel
(Bridge)
and take us all
G+G A augmentedA
home, where we would know that we've got
E MajorE G+G A augmentedA
windows to close when it gets cold
B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
but I ain't got no (x4)
(Chorus)
G+G A augmentedA B minorBm
but the narrow path is closing in
G+G A augmentedA B minorBm
sometimes I think I'm too fat to fit on it
G+G A augmentedA B minorBm
when the curtains close because the clouds roll in
E MajorE
its taking me right back down
C majorC G+G
right back down
G+G A augmentedA E minorEm A augmentedA E minorEm
right back down to the same dungeon
A augmentedA E minorEm
to the same dungeon (x2)
A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
to the same dungeon
B minorBm A5A5 B minorBm (x3)
E minorEm
