G         Bb             Dm    Cadd9   G    Bb
Listen to me I've got a warning for you

You've got to learn to take more care

Because if you swim in dirty water

Be careful how you dry your hair
    Dm       Cadd9  G    Bb
In a room within a room
     Dm      Cadd9  G   Bb
In a hole within a hole
               Dm        Cadd9     G      Bb
You've got to learn to share your secrets
         Dm     Cadd9 G   Dm C
Or you'll lose your   soul

I've got the evidence,

I know you're broke

Another town, another one-night stand

A silver dollar in my pocket

I don't like surprises
      Dm      Cadd9  G  Bb
I've got your souvenir

Since the last charade

I know you're guilty

But I'm carrying the blame

I took out much more than I put in

I know you're broke

The unwritten law

Another town, another one-night stand
