Ami Well I'm standing by the river
But the Dmi water doesn't flow
It Fmaj7 boils with every E7 poison you can Ami think of
And I'm underneath the streetlight
But the Dmi light of joy I know
Fmaj7 Scared beyond be E lief way down in the Ami shadows
And the per C verted fear of violence
Chokes the G smile on every face
And Fmaj7 common sense is ringing out the E bell
Ami This ain't no technological Dmi breakdown
Oh Fmaj7 no, this is the E7 road to Ami hell
And all the C roads jam up with credit
And there's G nothing you can do
It's Fmaj7 all just pieces of paper flying E away from you
Oh Ami look out world, take a good look
What comes Dmi down here
You must Fmaj7 learn this lesson E7 fast and learn it Ami well
This ain't no upwardly mobile Dmi freeway
Oh Fmaj7 no, this is the E7 road
Said Fmaj7 this is the E7 road
Fmaj7 This is the E7 road to Ami hell
