                                     C                         Am
    Hey, Baby I just got back from town where the bribes are paid,
                                 F
    honey, they turned my offer down,
                                 C   G
    they say the deal's already made.
                             C                       Am
    So now I must stand and watch while it all comes down,
                              F
    and the buzzards and the hawks,
                                        C    G
    and the judges and the mob circle around.

                        C              Am
    Now if I were the queen of all the world,
                      F
    I would fall in chains,
                       C G
     just to see you free
                       C                        Am
    of the ropes that bind you and the role you play,
                        F
    and the pride that hooks you,
                             C  G
    while the big ones get away.

C
    Love junkies wanna change the world:
Am
      it quickly stays the same,
F
    and money junkies hire all the smart ones,
C                          G
    power junkies run the game

                     C           Am
    One step at a time, Polarity Hill,
                           F
    if the bad guys don't get you, baby,
                        C   G
    then the good guys will.
                        C                        Am
    With angels on the take and gangsters in the yard,
                              F
    hey, don't the wars come easy,
                               C   G
    hey, don't the peace come hard.

                     C               Am
    Now, if I had a way to reach the sky,
                            F
    I'd grab that crescent moon,
                                               C  G
    wield it like a knife, save you from the lies,
                         C                        Am
    from the ropes that bind you and the role you play,
                       F
    and the game that hooks you,
                              C  G
     while the big ones get away.
