Riff x 2
I need your confidence, need to know your mine
Riff x 2
When it gets right down to the killing time
Riff x 2
I know your heart is bad, but it's all I've ever had
Riff x 2
We can live our lives on this righteous crime
Dsus2  Em7+5 G   Dsus2  Em7+5 G  
I got kicked when I was down and a sailor took my girl to town
Dsus2  Em7+5 G   Dsus2  Em7+5 G  
then she licked my wounds with the sea dog's salt
Dsus2  Em7+5 G   Dsus2  Em7+5 G  
I drank a half a bottle of jack, swore I'd never take you back
Dsus2  Em7+5 G   Dsus2  Em7+5 G  
by the bottle's end I was on that phone.
Em7+5 C  Am  
What you call compromise I don't understand
Em7+5 C   Am  A  
What you call compromise I don't under------stand
