D            C               D             C  G
We live in confusion times---my world is a vice
D           C           D                             C
Nobody gets out alive...but you can break through the ice
G         A   G  A
Don't say no

[Verse]
D                 C           D             C  G
My wounds are the open kind---I bleed every day
D            C                D                 C
I pray for a change of mind...you could take me away
G         A    G         A
Don't say no...Don't say no
G         A    G         A
Don't say no...Don't say no

[Chorus 1]
F#m                 G                    A
Take on the system, playin' on the wrong side
F#m                G                     A
Spend all my money tryin' to have a good time
F#m                         G
Come 'round to see you from time to time
A                         D  D
Weak in the knees and I'm busted

[Verse]
D                C               D             C  G
Some people they treat me kind...some drive me away
D                C                D             C
Some people they blow your mind...it's not easy today
G         A   G  A
Don't say no

[Verse]
D             C            D                 C  G
I live on the borderline...you come from the void
D            C                D                          C
I beg you to cross the line...you take good care of your boy
G         A    G         A
Don't say no...Don't say no
G         A    G         A
Don't say no...Don't say no

[Chorus 2]
F#m             G                 A
Got me a ticket sittin' on a gold mine
F#m                   G                     A
Send me the int'rest, take me where the sun shines
F#m                        G
Come 'round to see me from time to time
A                       D  D
Bring it to me when I'm busted

D              C           D                   C
One minute I'm outa time...I don't fit in your game
D              C          D                   C
You kill me in overtime...I don't remember my name
D                 C            D                  C
One minute you're on my mind...next minute you're gone
D              C                D                  C
You tell me to read the signs...they tell me we're on
