Intro
F#m Em, A C#7 (x2)
Verse 1:
F#m Bm A C#7
I remember when, I saw the sea freeze.
F#m Bm A C#7
But it said nothing, about the birds and the bees.
F#m Bm A C#7
They were swarming around my head; you'd be better off dead.
Bridge 1:
D C#m
But I ain't going down like that.
D C#m
I ain't going down like that.
Chorus 1:
F#m Bm
'Cos I'm better than him and I know where I've been,
A C#7
You know where I'm coming from.
F#m Bm
And I'm hired to sin, but don't we all sin?
A C#7
That is the truth and the truth is grim.
F#m Bm
It ain't easy in jail; the stories for sale,
A C#7
Your father has died, while he's gripped for bail.
F#m Bm
He points to the west and he leaves out the rest,
A C#7
And wants you to be his special guest.
Interlude:
D C#m D C#m
Ooh... ooh...
Verse 2:
F#m Bm A C#7
I remember when, I saw the leaves fall.
F#m Bm
I was in the woods,
D C#7
And the gown you wouldn't wear to the Ball.
F#m Bm A C#7
Into the ditch I fly; wanted dead or a-live.
Bridge 2:
D C#m
But I ain't going down like that.
D C#m
No, I ain't going down like that.
Chorus 2:
F#m Bm
'Cos I'm better than him and I know where I've been,

A C#7
That is the truth and the truth is grim.
F#m Bm
It ain't easy in jail; the stories for sale,

And wants you to be his special guest.
