[Em]I've[C#][F#][C][B][Em][C#][F#][C][B]
[Em]been slipping out of [C#]slot

[Em]I ate the sacred [C#dim]ap ple
And [F#]now here [B]come the rot
[Em]I thought I was immortal
[D]But my [C]youth [B]is on the run
My [Cdim]repertoire [C]of smiles I've used them
[F#dim]all and now there's none[B]
They say [Em]you've made it when
[D]you're still standing [C]at the end
[B]Let's go, let's go,
come on straight life has to end

[Am]Play [B]safe says my astrology
Play [C]safe, [B]I'm a man stricken by a s[Em]torm[C#dim]
