This song is really all about how you can embellish the chords, and there are only two main ones in the whole song, so I've marked where the changes occur and it's sort of up to you from there. [Verse 1]
BmI am a soldier baby BmWho works just like a slave BmSweating through the pain of digging his foxhole that he know is just a grave BmYou trust me don't you baby? BmYou'd hand your life to me BmLet's walk along the wire and watch the muzzles flash like lightning
EmA smile safe-crackers understand, is rendering this steady handBm obsolete EmYou thought you caught my slight of hand, but you could neverBm understand BmNo not me
[Verse 2]
BmFather was a charming man with much hidden up his sleeve BmI wonder if this is what he planned when he taught his tricks to me The Emyoungest was a clever boy cracking calculus by three The Bmeldest was a practical and obsessively clean BmThen there was me:
BmI was born a charming man with silver tongue, pearl teeth BmThis's never how it's 'sposed to end, we're promised all we dreamed EmThe envy of the Everyman our family seemed complete EmOur father was a charming man, our mother a serene
BmBut now I'm on the run again - this hotel's home to me BmThey found the other skeleton face down in the stream The Emyoungest was still tucked in bed EmThat way they thought he was asleep EmThey moved the mirror from his mouth The fog that should remain was Bmnot to be seen BmNot to be seen
[Verse 3]
BmI am the doctor darling BmWho used to operate BmBut I couldn't stand the pain of healing BmOnly t'watch another woman waste away EmYou trust me don't you baby? EmYeah you'd hand your life to me BmLet's set this barn on fire BmAnd watch the flames eat up the roof beams
BmA smile safe-crackers understand BmIs rendering this steady hand BmObsolete EmYou thought I must have broken in EmBut there's no crime in coming in BmThey hand me the key
[Verse 4]
BmFloating on the wind again BmOn the tail of my quarry On a Emwoman weak for charming men EmWho's holding what I need She'll Bmleave her window cracked for me BmAnd I'll draft in like the breeze BmMy father was a charming man and I learned it all from he
The Embrother's born a wondersmith EmWe started as a team Like Bmcomplimenting cogs and gears we built a head of steam The Emtragic flaw of charming men EmIs exactly as it seems BmToo much grease BmCan break down a machine
[Verse 5]
BmPour another round on me EmPour another round on me BmYou know I'm good for it BmYou know me EmYou know I'm good for it EmYou know my family
[Verse 6]
BmI am a lover lady BmWho sees just what you dream BmI know you're going crazy living with him an' without me EmYou trust me don't you baby? EmYeah you'd hand your life to me BmLet's leave this life tonight BmAnd race the sunrise down the highway
BmA smile safe-crackers understand BmIs rendering this steady hand EmObsolete BmThe charm and confidence of men BmCan jam the bullets in your gun BmAnd stop heartbeats
