Intro: Bm  B9

Bm        G          D            Em
I read it all, every word, and I still don't understand a thing
G            D   Em
What had you heard ?
 Bm           G             D             Em
What had you heard, was it love, was it take another walk in the dark ?
G             D  Em
You'll never learn

D                              A4   A     Em                   G
I'd pray to god if there was heaven, but heaven seems so very far from here

       G         D            Em
And it all boils down to the same old thing
       G         D          Em
Just a yin and a yang or a couple of pipe dreams
       G          D           Em
And it all boils down to the same old pain
            G          D                 Em                 G
Whether you win or you lose isn't gonna change a single thing

 Bm         G          D                   Em
I stood in line and a thought crossed my mind, I had been dreaming
G            D  Em
But I didn't mind
 Bm           G            D                   Em
I signed the line and the woman looked right through me
G          D   Em
She didn't smile

D                               A4  A     Em                       G
I'd pray to god if there was heaven, but heaven seems so very far from here

       G         D            Em
And it all boils down to the same old thing
       G         D          Em
Just a yin and a yang or a couple of pipe dreams
       G         D            Em
And it all boils down to the same old pain
            G          E                Em                   G
Whether you win or you lose isn't gonna change a single thing

D                               A4  A     Em                       G
I'd pray to god if there was heaven, but heaven seems so very far from here

       G         D            Em
And it all boils down to the same old thing
       G         D          Em
Just a yin and a yang or a couple of pints, please
       G         D            Em
And it all boils down to the same old pain
            G         D                 Em
Whether you win or you lose isn't gonna change a single thing

       G         D            Em
And it all boils down to the same old fear
       G         D              Em
Just a link in a chain, just a puppet on a string
       G         D            Em
And it all boils down to the same old fear
            G          D  Em
Whether you win or you lose
            G          D  Em
Whether you win or you lose
            G          D  Em
Whether you win or you lose
            G          D  Em
Whether you win or you lose
