The taxman's in the pocketbook 

The pressmen are by the bar 
E              C
And all the world is at your door

It's strange that you should lock it up 

And preach an open heart 
E             C
But you know what they're waiting for 


C                 G             Am       
You can turn your face away now 
                 E
And don't think twice 
C             G        Am             E
I'm just the ordinary guy you used to know 
C                  G
I'm not after your money 
Am             E
Or even your advice 
C                 G
I believe you'll follow me 
     Am              E
It's all I need to know 

(to walk away) 


Am
I was tempted by the devil in this deep blue swimming pool 
E          C
Until the devils makeup ran.. 
        Am
And my future's in the strangle hold of ever changing rules 
E          C
I don't intend to understand 


C                G          Am             E
You can stop pretending now that I had you fooled 
C               G       Am              E
I'm still the ordinary guy you used to know 
C                  G
I'm not after your money 
Am             E
To paralise my soul 
C                 G
I believe you'll follow me 
      Am             E
It's all I need to know 
C                 G             Am            E
Promise me you'll try to understand before I go


C                 G             Am       
You can turn your face away now 
Am             E
And don't think twice 
C               G       Am              E
I'm just the ordinary guy you used to know 
C                  G
I'm not after your money 
Am             E
Or even your advice 
C                 G
I believe you'll follow me 
      Am             E
It's all I need to know 
C                 G             Am            E
Promise me you'll try to understand before I go 


C              G              Am            E
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know (repete várias vezes)
