     D       G5     A5                        D      G5           A5    
Do as I say, not as I do because the shit's so deep you can't run away. I
      D       G5         A5                 D      G5         A5
beg to differ, on the contrary, I agree with every word that you say.
       D          G5       A5                  D          G5    A5
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive, my wallet's fat and so is my head.

Hit and run and then I'll hit you again, I'm a smart ass but I'm playing dumb.

INSTUMENTAL VERSE:
D	G5	A5		D	G5	A5


Verse2:

Standards set and broken all the time,
control the chaos from behind a gun.
Call it as I see it even if
I was born deaf, blind and dumb.
Losers winning big on the lottery,
Rehab rejects still sniffing glue.
Constant refutation with myself,
I'm a victim of a catch 22.

Chorus:
D    G5    A5                   D       G5      A5
              I have no belief.
                     D        G5    A5              D       G5    A5
But I believe, I'm a walking contradiction. And, I ain't got  no     right.

D   G5     A5			D       G5      A5

Repeat verse 1 and then play chorus twice.

END:
D   G5    A5			D       G5      A5
						  Oh.

D   G5    A5			D       G5      A5
