Am G Oh you, you walk on past D Your lips cut a smile on your face (Your scalding face) Am G To the cage, to the cage D She was a beauty in a cage Am G Too, too high a price D To drink rotting wine from your hands (Your fearful hands) Get me to a doctor's I've been told F Someone's back in town, the chips are down G I just cut and blackout I'm under Japanese influence Am And my honour's at stake G The weather's grim, ice on the cages F Me, I'm Robin Hood and I puff on my cigarette E Panthers are steaming, stalking, screaming E D If you don't stay tonight Am G D I will take that plane tonight Am D I've nothing to lose, nothing to gain Am I'll kiss you in the rain D Kiss you in the rain (kiss you in the rain) Am G Kiss you in the rain (kiss you in the rain) D In the rain (In the rain) Get me to the doctor Chorus: Am G Get me off the streets (get some protection) F E Get me on my feet (get some direction) E Hot air gets me into a blackout D A G Oh, get me off the streets D Get some protection A G A D Oh, get me on my feet While the streets block off Getting some skin exposure to the blackout (Get some protection) Get me on my feet (Get some direction, wo-ooh!) Oh get me on my feet Get me off the streets (Get some protection) You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  D  E  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
