[Intro 1]
[Bm][G][Asus4][Gm][F][Bm]
[D][Gm][G][Bm]

[Verse 1]
[Bm]Hey man
[D]Hand me down [Am]with
[G]the crooked [Am]back[Bb][F]
[G]Wha[Bm]t's your father's name? Boy,
you [D]don't know [Am]where you're [G]at[Am][Gm][F]
[Bm]Pick yourself up,
you don't look so good
[Am]May be you should [Gm]lay d[Bb]own[F]
[Am]Taug[Bm]ht me how to fall
But [D]you never told me [Am]I was supposed
[Gm]to stay [Am]down
[Bb][F][G][Em][D]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Stick and move
Sharpen up the [Em]knife
Keep it tight
[D]Stay between the [Am]lines
Make your mark
Take your own advice
[Em]Don't be surprised when
[D]you trip and [Am]stumble
I played the fool again
[Em]My old unfaith[D]ful friend
[Am]Stick and move
Sharpen up the knife
[Em]Don't be surprised if you can't stay[D]
between the lines
[Bm][D][Gm]

[Verse 3]
[Bb][D]
[Bm]Quicksand [D]color blind in the
[G]hourglass[Am][Bb][Gm][F][G]
[Bm]All spun out 'cause you [D]can't stop
looking [G]back[Am][Gm][F][Gm]
[Bm]Better stay still,
don't you [D]make [Bm]a move
[D]What'd you hope [Gm]to find [Bb]here?[G]
[Bm]Taught me how to fall
But you never told me I was meant to
[Gm]die [Am]here[Gm]
[G][Em][D][G]

[Verse 4]
[Am]Stick and move
Sharpen up the [Em]knife
Keep it tight
[D]Stay between the lines
[Am]Make your mark
Take your own advice
[Em]Don't be surprised when
[D]you trip and [Am]stumble
I played the fool again
[Em]My old unfaith[D]ful [G]frie[D]nd
[Am]Stick and move
Sharpen up the knife
[Em]Don't be surprised if you can't stay[D] between

[Interlude 1]
the lines
[D][Am]
[D][Dsus4][Am]
[Em]
[D]

[Verse 5]
[Am]Endless shot rounds
No smoking guns
Fizzled and faded
Now back on the run
[Em]My sticks and stones
Tokyo smoke
[D]I played the fool 'til I started to choke
[Am]My public smile
My double face
Half in the light
Half in the shade
[Em]Need some fresh air
No place tonight
[Am]Gues[D]s I'll stay in and continue to fight[Bm]
[Am]Lost trace of trail
Spiderweb spun
Pale white and blue
Now I'm coming undone
[Em]Play sticks and stones
Three shades of black
[D]Two steps away
And I can't get [Am]back
[Am]
