Verse I:
Gm Cm
About as subtle as an earthquake, I know

my mistakes were made for you
(Gm) Cm
& in the back room of a bad dream she came
F Gm
& whisked me away and fused
(Gm) Gm
& it's as solid as a rock rolling down a hill
Cm F
the fact is that it prob'ly will hit something
Gm
on the hazardous terrain
(Gm) Gm
& we're just following the flock 'round and in between
Cm F
before we're smashed to smithereens like they were
D7
and we scramble from the blame
Chorus:
(D7) Cm
& it's the fame that put words in her mouth
D7
she couldn't help but spit 'em out

a face in the crowd she's not
