C G Dm Am C G F C F C Am G C [Verse]
G Dm Am C Storms are breaking in California
G F C G From the East Coast a twister comes
B7 Em F C She lies waiting for her lover
G F C A crumpled rag-doll that's cast away
F C G Then they call her on the phone
F C G Telling lies that she can see through
Am Em F C So they'll live inside their hell tonight
F C Am G F C F C Am G C Knowing they were saving their own skins [Verse]
G Dm Am C Signing up for high adventure
G F C G Young and innocent, so alive
B7 Em F C Mules and asses held the high ground
Continues after the ad
G F C While the lions stood like sitting ducks
F C G Then they drove them through the fire
F C G With a cry of "We know better"
Am Em F C So they'll live inside their hell tonight
F C Am G F C F C Am G C Knowing they were saving their own skins [Verse]
G Dm Am C Sailing oceans to a new life
G F C G Friends and family are tied as one
B7 Em F C Captain's table rocks with laughter
G F C Glasses raised to a job well done
F C G And the market place is waiting
F C G For the souls that can't be bought
Am Em F C So they'll burn inside their hell tonight
F C Am G F C F C Am G C Knowing they were shaming mankind [Instrumental]
C G Dm Am C G F C F C Am G C [Verse]
G Dm Am C Like a dead bird in a green field
G F C G Still and peaceful the body lay
B7 Em F C I don't need to witness something
G F C To confirm all my deepest fears
F C G But I climb into my car
F C G And I stop the help arriving
Am Em F C So I'll live inside my hell tonight
F C Am G F C Knowing I was only gloating
