G G Am D G G C D G Em C D C D G

INTRO:

G Em Am D

I'm worried 'bout you baby, Down in your rabbit hole

G Em C D

The evening of our great escape, Is starting to unfold

G G/F C D

Out of bed, Sleepy head, It's different than you know

C D G

Everybody pays as they go

G Em Am D

Now pull yourself together, Put your chin up off your throat

G Em C D

Now whistle for the dogs and get your sled into the snow

G G/F C D

Nothing's ever buried, Under skull and bones

C D G Em Am D G C D G

Everybody pays as they go Oooooooooooooooooooooohh

G Em Am D

The playing field is level, But it's ugly down below

G Em C D

It's the devil of a handbook, Hi ho, Hi ho-o

G G/F C D

Now either you're the butcher, Or the lamb, But even so

C D G

Everybody pays as they go

C G D G*

The future busted open wide and ran, Like a, Beehive, Loaded with sand

C G D

You can't go back and see it, The way you saw it then

Em Am D G C D G Em Am D G C D G

Nobody can, Ooooh ohho ooh ooh ooh ooh

G Em Am D

Look up and see the men returnin', In their winter coats

G Em Am D

Now some of them in one piece, And some of them got rolled

G G/F C D

And some less than others, Some right through their nose

C D G Am D

Em G

But everybody pays as they go

G G/F C D

Young, Old, And rich and poor, Your mother, She too owes

C D G G C D C D

'Cause everybody pays as they go, Everybody pays

C D G

Yes , Everybody pays as they go
