Capo: 1 Tuning: E A D G B E
Transcribed by Eli Tecktiel Music and Lyrics by Lloyd Cole CAPO 1st Fret Verses are palm muted: [Verse 1]
EYou used to be mean AYou used to be cruel EBut you were laughing then AAnd it was no accident EWhere did the mean man go AIs he chasing his shadow? EIs he unhappy to report AThat the gentleman he found is a terrible bore?
EYou know it all AYou've got all the answers EBut if that's the case What's with Athe long face?
[Pre Chorus]
AIt's very easy to be brave With your good foot in the grave EIt's very easy to be cold EWhen there's no one in the world you want toA know AIt's very easy to be suavEe AWhen you're on your guard ALike you always are
[Chorus]
EThe sun goes down anAd now the shadows arEise EThe morning is brokeAn as you mourn your Elife YEou smile at your neAighbors as you lock yEour doors YEou face up the mirroAr, mister, pimp or whEore ?
[Verse 2]
EIs it hard to let go AAt the foot of the rainbow EJust to be informed AThat the chase was your reward? EHere, have a crock of gold AKeep it for when you're old ELike a week on Tuesday AHey, wise men say
[Pre Chorus]
AIt's very easy to be brave With your good foot in the grave EIt's very easy to be cold EWhen there's no one in the world you want toA know AIt's very easy to be suavEe AWhen you're on your guard ALike you always are
[Chorus]
EThe sun goes down anAd now the shadows arEise EThe morning is brokeAn as you mourn your Elife YEou smile at your neAighbors as you lock yEour doors YEou face up the mirroAr, mister, pimp or whEore ?

Put me in thEe ground ACome on and Put me in the Eground EThe sun goes down anAd now the shadows (put me in the grEound) arise EThe morning is brokeAn as you mourn (put me in the ground) yoEur life YEou smile at your neAighbors as you lock yEour doors (cmon and put me in the ground) YEou face up the mirroAr, mister, pimp or whEore ?
