riff x 2
i need your confidence , need to know your mine
riff x 2
when it gets right down to the killing time
riff x 2
i know your heart is bad , but it’s all i’ve ever had
riff x 2
we can live our lives on this righteous crime

Dsus2 Em7+5 G Dsus2 Em7+5 G
i got kicked when i was down and a sailor took my girl to town
Dsus2 Em7+5 G Dsus2 Em7+5 G
then she licked my wounds with the sea dog’s salt
Dsus2 Em7+5 G Dsus2 Em7+5 G
i drank a half a bottle of jack , swore i’d never take you back
Dsus2 Em7+5 G Dsus2 Em7+5 G
by the bottle’s end i was on that phone .

Em7+5 C Am
what you call compromise i don’t understand
Em7+5 C Am A
what you call compromise i don’t under – – – – – – stand

how do you walk away?
how do you walk away?
how do you walk away from a woman that gone and done you wrong?

( play a freestyle version of the main riff : )
i got kicked when i was down and a sailor took my girl to town
then she licked my wounds with the sea dog’s salt
i drank a half a bottle of jack , swore i’d never take you back
by the bottle’s end i was on that phone .
