 D                    Am     
 You're way past your station
 C                          G   
 It's useless asking you to stop
       D            Am   
 I got morbid fascination
 C                       E   
 Beat you honey 'til you drop
 
 Am D (x8)
 
 Am  G                  Am         G  
 Sometimes you're gonna get some stick
 Am  G                  Am         G  
 Sometimes you're gonna get some stick
 Am  G               Am     G  
 Somebody's standing in our way
 Am  G            Am       G 
 Somebody's gonna have to pay
 C                                       E    
 Sometimes there's only one way, I gotta fight
 
 Am D (x21) E5 D5 C5 B5
 end on Am.
