Em               D                  C          D
He sticks to his guns, he takes the road as it comes
             C
He takes the shine off his shoes
Em             D                  C        D
He says it's a shame, you know it may be a game

He's burning the grass, he takes up a glass

He swallows it neat     ---------------------------------

He crosses the floor, he opens the door

He takes a sniff at the street
