Am               G
Sometimes it's a matter of fact
F                           E
Everybody's in your bed with their diplomats
Am               G
Sometimes it's a matter of taste
F                               E
Everybody wants to hear about the big mistakes
Am               G
Everybody wants a piece of your heart
F                                     E
Telling you they've been there for you right from the start

Every day is like a marathon
F                            E
Wondering how you ever got so far from the dawn
Am                      G
You look around you and everything's changed
F                       E
Everything's broken and spoken and strange
Am                         G
She lifts a pistol to your temple and smiles
F                      E
Don't worry baby, I'll be here a while
Am                              G

Am            G
Everyday is a matter of haste

Telling you that you got too much talent to waste
Am               G
Most time's the cards are all stacked
F                                  E
Everyone but you knows that you're on the wrong track
Am                             G
And when you feel like there's no turning back
F                            E
You're idols are broken, the marble is cracked

F                            E                  Am G F E
Without looking back and to step right off the ledge

[Verse]
Am                  G
Everyday you got to run for you life
F                                  E
Wondering if it's them or you that stuck in the knife
Am                         G
it doesn't matter when you reach the end
F                        E
so come have a seat and relax
Am                       G
She pistol-whips you and tells you you're clever
F                      E
Don't worry baby, I'll be here forever
Am                         G

It's all going under you just got to keep it going

[Outro]
C     Em      Am            G                  C
Each day she glares at me across the morning sky
                      Em
She's coming from the east to kill me
  Am                 G                   C
I know it's true but she won't tell me why
           Em         Am              G           
She spins around me, numbered pirouettes until I'm gone
C          Em          Am             G              F G Am Am x4 
But in the meantime, I know my only choice is to ride on
