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
[Chorus 1]
C G
You can turn your face away now
Am 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)
[Interlude]
| Am | Am | Am | Am
[Verse 2]
Am
I was tempted by the devil in this deep blue swimming pool
E C Am
Until the devil's makeup ran
Am
And my future's in the stranglehold of everchanging rules
E C Am
I don't intend to understand
[Chorus 2]
C G Am E
You can stop pretending now that I've 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 paralyse 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
(and walk away)
