C                        G
  What it was, wasn’t my fault
                C
If I would have known, but,
               F
Who could have known?
                   C
The cameras and the kids
                    G
The candids and the kindling
                    F
We’re fighting them all
                C
They’ve done it again
             G
What do her friends say?
           F
Who was involved?
                C
I’ll call it all off.
                    G
Cause I should have known but,
                Em        F
Who could have known?
               Em         F
Who could have known?

C              G
The needles, the space.
                  Am
That time can’t erase
                  G
And buttoned down you’ll get the best of me.
C                  G
  The thrill of it all.
                 Am
The rise and the fall
                  G              C
And buttoned down you’ll get the best of me.


C                        G
  On the way back to the bank.
                  C
His head sinking low.
                F
He should have known.
                C
How hard did it come?
                G
When was it that you
           F
Lost your soul?
            C
What does it take?
             G
What did they make you?
               F
What do you know?
             C
Well we’ve done it again, again,
                         G
Again, now we’ll let you in but,
              Em         F
We should have known.
              Em         F
We should have known


C              G
The needles, the space.
                  Am
That time can’t erase
                  G
And buttoned down you’ll get the best of me.
C                  G
  The thrill of it all.
                 Am
The rise and the fall
                  G                        C
And buttoned down you’ll get the best of me.


G   Am                         G                      C
            Now buttoned down, you’ll get the best of me.
