Intro: Gm

Verse 1:
Gm                    Cm
About as subtle as an earthquake, I know
   F                      Gm
My mistakes were made for you
Gm                        Cm
And in the back room of a bad dream she came
F                      Gm
And whisked me away, enthused

Pre-chorus:
Gm
And it's as solid as a rock rolling down a hill
    Cm                               F
The fact is that it prob'ly will hit something
                 Gm
On the hazardous terrain
Gm
And we're just following the flock 'round and in between
Cm                                       F
Before we're smashed to smithereens like they were
                          D7
Then we scramble from the blame

Chorus:
D7           Cm
And it's the fame that put words in her mouth
    D7
She couldn't help but spit 'em out
Cm                            D7
Innocence and arrogance entwined
                    Gm
In the filthiest of minds

Verse 2:
Gm                    Cm
She was bitten on her birthday, and now
  F                        Gm
A face in the crowd, she's not
                           Cm
And I suspect that now, forever the shape
    F                    D7
She came to escape is forgot

Chorus:
D7         Cm
And it's a lot to ask her not to sting
    D7
And give her less than everything
Cm                                      D7
Around your crooked conscience she will wind

Bridge: Gm Am Dm G Am

Pre-chorus:
Am
'Cause we're just following the flock around and in between
  Dm                                     G
Before we're smashed to smithereens like they were
                         E7
And we scramble from the blame

Chorus:
E7           Dm
And it's the fame that put words in her mouth
E7
She couldn't help but spit 'em out
 Dm                                     E7
Around your crooked conscious she will wind
           Dm
And it's a lot to ask her not to sting
    E7
And give her less than everything
Dm                      E7
Innocence and arrogance entwined

Outro: Am
