Am
The taxman's in the pocketbook

The pressmen are by the bar
E          C            Am
And all the world is at your door

Am
It's strange that you should lock it up

And preach an open heart
E        C             Am
But you know what they're waiting for

C           G         Am
You can turn your face away now
           E
And don't think twice
C          G      Am         E
I'm just the ordinary guy you used to know
C             G
I'm not after your money
Am        E
Or even your advice
C            G
I believe you'll follow me
     Am           E
It's all I need to know
(to walk away)

Am
I was tempted by the devil in this deep blue swimming pool
E        C         Am
Until the devils makeup ran..
    Am
And my future's in the strangle hold of ever changing rules
E        C          Am
I don't intend to understand

C          G       Am         E
You can stop pretending now that I had you fooled
C             G     Am          E
I'm still the ordinary guy you used to know
C             G
I'm not after your money
Am          E
To paralise my soul
C            G
I believe you'll follow me
     Am           E
It's all I need to know
C         G            Am        E
Promise me you'll try to understand before I go

C           G           Am           E
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
