         Bridge: D F#m D F#m Em 

D 
Better the devil you know 
Confess, I guess I was the lesser of the two evils 
                      Bm 
Convalesce about the stress the test caused 
Had me up and on the board 
Now I'm chairman of the board 
I'm coming back for sequels 
       D 
Do you ever really think you've won? Now you're feeble 
Nothing on this far-gone son, all these people 
        Bm 
They're laughing at the shit I've done 
I've sailed the seven seas to catch a breeze 
And took it back home in a trunk 
       F#m 
Met a matador who said it's my woman is more 
Terrifying than any red bull that he saw 
      Em 
Set a sail, set a rail, met them kings and queens 
There's so many trust, just the amphetamines 
          F#m 
Well, her dream would've been that the boy's got clean 
That her father never got his heart 
                          Em 
Caught up in the man's machine 
Well, it seems even if I got away 
There's always a part of me willing to stay 

D 
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel 
All we've got to keep us together 
Bm 
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel 
F#m                   Em 
Underground traveling overcast weather 
D 
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel 
All we've got to keep us together 
Bm 
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel 
F#m          Em 
Maybe one day things'll get better 


D 

Check, check, check, check 

Bm 

One, two, three, kick 


      D  
I met Gods and monsters, women from Wisconsin 
Swimming in linen with another that's not their partner 
   Bm 
Chicago be selfish drum, on my journey I met Ernie 
So he spoke like Al Capone got drunk 
      D 
I'm a lover, I'm a brother, my son 
I'm a traitor and I'm on the run, watch 'em come 
                     Bm 
As she said while she driving in her car 
Getting drunker than the bar 
She's been smacking hard shoulders since before she's legal 
      F#m 
I'm a dragnet right on through the city of sin 
It's the hard done bastards taking it in 
        Em 
Well, I see what I say, save it on the way 
They can't sit bawling but they're bawling away 
           F#m 
Well, she cries all her tears but with all of her fears 
Well, she run away, she had a place 
                              Em 
Now all they ever see is the fears 
Take it as she's seen it, get away 
Well, there's always a part of us willing to stay 


D 
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel 
All we've got to keep us together 
Bm 
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel 
F#m                   Em 
Underground traveling overcast weather 
D 
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel 
All we've got to keep us together 
Bm 
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel 
F#m           Em 
Maybe one day things'll get better 


D  Bm 


   D 
So run, run Boyo, chase it to the border, border 
Should have also told her I was cannon fodder 
F#m 
Would've if I could've screamed to her, shout and holler 
Then I could've saved the girl from the man's machine 
D                
Run Boyo, chase it to the border, border 
Should have also told her I was cannon fodder 
F#m 
Would've if I could've screamed to her, shout and holler 
                           Em 
Then I could've saved the girl from the man's machine 

D 
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel 
All we've got to keep us together 
Bm 
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel 
F#m                   Em 
Underground traveling overcast weather 
D 
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel 
All we've got to keep us together 
Bm 
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel 
F#m             Em 
Maybe one day things'll get better
