(verse)
G			  em*			 c			g
You think youve got a head for heights be careful, babe, you might fall
G						  c			  d
You think you know all your rights but youre at someones beck and call
G			em*			c		    g
You think youve got life on a plate but its harder to eat than to play
(chorus)
C	  d	   g	  c		 am		  g	(*riff)
Youre in the race youve got a place but thats what they all say

(verse)
You wanna stand in the working mans shoes
And have someone step on your head
You wanna bruise your skin on my teeth
But you just bite me instead
You wanna come down and check out my level
But something stands in your way

(chorus) then (*riff)

(bridge)
Bm		 c	   bm			 c
Standing in the rain you pass by, dont even remember my name
Am			 d
But baby, baby, this aint no place for fame
Am				   d
And it aint the street, its the gutter youve got to blame

(verse)
Well, you think you are a real rough diamond
cause you can stand to the test
You think if you got a car to climb in you will shine out the best
You think your jewels arent made out of paste
Believe me theyre looking that way

(repeat chorus) then d c# c g
(instrumental-a verse and a chorus) then
(repeat bridge)

(verse)
You think if you got a hall of mirrors you will see every way
You think if you buy a piece of tomorrow someone else has to pay
You think if you can pin someone down they wont get in your way

(repeat chorus (twice) then
C 	  d	 g		c	   d   g	 c d	g
Thats what they all say, baby  thats what they all say
