(let chords ring out on every verse)
 
A5                                         E5
Lately I'm getting better 
F#m                     E5
Wish I could stay sick with you 
D5                              Dm7
But there's too many egos left to bruise 
 
A5                                                   E5
Call it a sin you call it what ever 
F#m                    E5
Eating deep inside of you 
D5
Well if were me it's all I'd ever do 
 
RIFF E (x2)

A5                                      E5 E5
Stealing now and forever 
F#m                     E5
I'll steal something good for you 
D5
But the criminal in me is no-one new 
 
RIFF E (x2)
 
A5                                      E5 E5
Til you find something better  
F#m                     E5
When there's nothing left to use 
D5
And everything starts going down on you 
 
RIFF E (x2)
 
A
I'm the generator,  
                              F
Firing whenever you quit, 
                        F#m
Yeah whatever it is, 
                           G   G/A  G/B
You go out and it's on, 
Em/C#            D9
Yeah can't you hear my motor heart, 
F                       G
You're the one that started it.

A5                                      E5 E5
Standing out on a tether 
F#m                                 E5
Swing me around I'll spin your news 
D5
You let it down I'll hang around with you 
 
RIFF E (x2)
 
A5                                      E5 E5
Til you find something better  
F#m                     E5
And there's no-one left to use 
D5
And everyone keeps going down on you 
 
RIFF E (x2)
