A Cautionary Tale(Chords)

	        Intro Dm 

Janis 

           Dm      F       C 
It's a cautionary tale of fear and lust and pride 
           C      Gm           Bb    Dm 
Based on actual events where people died 

Damian 

No one died 
Dm                    F 
But how far would you go 
         C 
To be popular and hot? 
C 
Would you resist temptation? 

Janis 

Bb             Dm 
No, you would not! 
Dm 
Just admit it 

Both 

           Bb               F 
Sometimes mean is what you are 
           A         Dm 
Mean is easier than nice 
            Bb                F 
And though mean can take you far 
       A 
Maybe this will make you think twice 

Damian

And getting hit by a bus! 

Janis 

Bb               A              Dm         F       Gm 
You can't buy integrity at the mall, it's not for sale
