D
Who are we sometimes I wonder
Fm
Mercenaries or lovers
G                   Bm
On this side of the thunder
          A
It can be awful hard to know

Verse 2:
D
Sell our love for the paycheck or
Fm
Spend the night on the freight deck
G                     Bm
For all the dues that we collect
    A
Our hearts can be overdrawn

Chorus:
G           D
Dead in the water
                  A
Like lamb to the slaughter
                     Bm  A   G
If the wind doesn't sing her song
                    D
And I'm speaking in tongues
G              Bm A  D
Cause I need a Ho-ly Ghost

Verse 3:
The geeks they can smell when you're coming
Even out in the cold
They'll wait you out yeah
They'll grind you down
But they're gonna get what they're owed

Verse 4:
I know the red thread unravels
I know you're blue and you're black
But there's still time if you don't mind
The way that the odds are stacked
