D5/            A   Em/D     Dm7   Dsus  D  
Please don't be so   naive    
(D)                 D5/ A           D  D5/ A  
You know you're not foo-ling anyone
(D5/                 A   Em/D         Dm7   Dsus  D5/A  
You're not as tough as     you think
D5/AWith dirty second hands the dirty second hands
(D5/A)          Em/D        Dm7   Dsus       D  
Can't get nothing   for free 
(D)        D5/  A            D  D5/ A  
It becomes so    predictable
(D5/A)          Em/D         Dm7   Dsus  D5/A  
You start fighting  to breathe
D5/AThe dirty second hands your dirty second hands
~CHORUS~
         F5        B5      F5          B5       C5    C#  D5/A  
Here's the face of everything that brakes you down

But now you face the face of everything that brakes you down
~VERSE~ (Chords are the same as verse 1)
With an army of me 
We invent our own enemies
Man versus machine
And the dirty second hands the dirty second hands
In the land of the free 
And the home of the remedy
The old clock is a thief
With dirty second hands with dirty second hands
~REPEAT CHORUS~
~BRIDGE~ NOTE:You keep repeating the intro riff all the way through
The bridge, until the chords come in, or you can just play D5/A throughout.
Are you really as tough as you think
You blink and you're over the brink
You bleed but the blood runs pink
With dirty second hands dirty second hands
You're not quite as tough as you thought
You bought the American rot
The very seed that you thought you shot
With dirty second hands dirty second hands
You might be right the fight might be right inside you
The blind leading the lied to
Tonight maybe you bind you with dirty second hands
         F5        B5      F5          B5       C5   C#5  D5/A  
Here's the face of everything that brakes you down
You bind you with dirty second hands
      F5         B5        F5      B5          C5          C#5  D5/A  
Now you face the face of everything that brakes you down
You bind you with dirty second hands
      F5         B5        F5      B5          C5          C#5  D5/A  
Now you face the face of everything that brakes you down
~OUTRO~
Play the intro riff once, and then end on D5/A.
