Am  D/F# Em      G         Am
Karma Police, arrest this man
    F        Em        G             Am
He talks in maths, he buzzes like a fridge
      D      G       C C/B Am Bm D
He's like a detuned radio

Karma police, arrest this girl
Her Hitler hairdo is making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party

Chorus:
C         D          G F#7
This is what you'll get
C         D          G F#7
This is what you'll get
C         D          G
This is what you'll get
         Bm        C Bm D
When you mess with us

Karma police, I've given all I can
It's not enough, I've given all I can
But we're still on the payroll

Chorus

Bm     D       G
For a minute there
   D      G       D      E
I lost myself, I lost myself
 Bm          D       G
Phew, for a minute there
   D      G       D      E
I lost myself, I lost myself

For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself
Phew, for a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself
