Well it feels so good, all these people looking out for me

Friend



Verse

I've got a box full of reject letters worded carefully

Tearing out my heart with a smile and a handshake

They don't have the faith I can learn to make a milkshake

As they tear down the park and build a fast food earthquake



Bridge

I couldn't stop laughing as the businessman stood

Telling us progress could only do good



Chorus



Middle

NC                           F5   A5  G5

You can kill with a handshake

NC                       F5   A5  G5

Or a pen and dotted line

NC                      F5   A5  G5

Or a kick in the balls

                          F5   A5  G5

If it's at the right time

    riff 3 (see below)

And I know people

         riff 3

Who will stab you in the back

    riff 3

And pregnant schoolgirls

               riff 3

Who give their Dad a heart attack



Bridge

       F                   C/E        G       Am

But if something's killing me it's my lack of meaning

F           C/E           G              Am

Everybody's smiling but I don't have any feelings

    F            C/E       G          Am

I'm not breaking down on account of executive

Bb

Stress



Chorus x3 fade out 3rd time
