VERSE 1
Bm                                    Em                             Bm                            Em
Nothing ever beats the feeling of a job well done of course
     Bm                                        Em                                       G                   A
Believing that you’ve gotten away with murder comes pretty close though
                          Em                  A
You’re not the kind of man 
                   Em            A
To take advice
                         Em                        G
You’re not the kind who gives 
                   A                 A              
a warning twice

VERSE 2
           Bm                                    Em                                 Bm                      Em
You’d have to have been well-favoured for years to not know fear
       Bm                    Em                                   Bm                        Em
It’s advantageous anyway to know when danger’s getting near 
                          Em                       A
You’re not the kind of man 
                     Em                 A
To put right wrongs 
               Em                G
Or tell a living soul
                             A                   A
What you have done though

CHORUS
  Bm               A                G                           F#m
I know right now it can tear you straight down
       Em       G          A          A
but today I feel so strong
        Bm           A           G                   F#m
and all of my demons I’ve made a vow 
              Em            G                 A        [STOP]
To take every last one of you on...
                     Bm              Em            Bm              Em
You’ll never hurt me or mine

You say you’re not trying to be funny but you can’t trust anyone 
    Bm                                   Em                             G                                    A
It sounds hard-bitten but look at these lonely roads you’ve travelled on
                            Em                           A                                              Em                     A
You worked out years ago you get nowhere and nothing being so afraid as to take the 
              Em                   G         A          A
longest safest way to get to any old place 

CHORUS
  Bm               A                G                           F#m
I know right now it can tear you straight down
       Em       G          A          A
but today I feel so strong

and all of my demons I’ve made a vow 
              Em            G                 A        [STOP]
To take every last one of you on...
                     Bm              Em            Bm              Em
You’ll never hurt me or mine
