Mercenary

Am                      F
Just a dime-store poet, keeping 
pace, talking his face blue.
Am                      F
Two dollar store tramps, to get a 
glance, a new chance at you.

Am                           F
Walk passed the dance floor. It's 
always been a dear friend of mine.
Am                        F      
Cut coils and concubines. Dancing
              E
 in four-four time.

[Chorus]
Am                F              
"Hey mister", the bellman says, 
      C                          E
"I can only recall and spend some 
time I said."
Am                   F
So he replies, "And how do you 
manage?"
  E
I dodge the blast, and apologize for
 collateral damage.

   Am                F
In love, I've always been a 
mercenary,
      C              E            
But I never leave my post when the
                Am
 cash runs out.
                   F               
I want to make you quiver, make 
             C
your backbone shiver.
                  E
Hey kid- take the stage and deliver.

[Chorus]
Am                F              
"Hey mister", the bellman says, 
      C                          E
"I can only recall and spend some 
time I said."
Am                   F

manage?"

 collateral damage.

Am F C E x2 (This is progression is 
repeated through this part):

How does it feel to stand on the 
very stones that ran with your 
parents' blood?
Do you feel sad? Full of rage? Or 
does that outfit help bury your 
feelings?
Hiding your true self.
You're a truly extraordinary 
Specimen, I look forward to breaking
 you.
(No guitar)
I dodge the blast, and apologize for
 collateral damage.

[Chorus]
Am                F              
"Hey mister", the bellman says, 
      C                          E
"I can only recall and spend some 
time I said."
Am                   F
So he replies, "And how do you 
manage?"

I dodge the blast, and apologize for
 collateral damage.
