D7Gentle ladies, gentle men
Waiting till the dance begin
FCarefully we come to speak the word for all to Dhear

We won't be misunderstood
But Fdon't expect the words to ring too sweetly on the Dear

[Verse 2]
D7In the gutter, in the street
Off his head or off his feet
FListen to the scratchy voices eating at your Dnerves

Shoot the girls and make them cry
FRun for cover, things are bad but now they're getting Dworse

Does it keep you warm at night?
FFool your friends and fool yourself, the choice is crystal Dclear

Better men might disagree
FDo you laugh or do you stick your finger in your Dear?
[Chorus]
Live in Cfear
