            E
How do you do?
             B
Tell me how are you
               Dsus2
have you been well?
          Asus2              B
give my regards to the world
            E
hand on my heart
          B
I didn't do what they say
              Dsus2
'cos I would rather be blind
Asus2               Esus2 E
or lose my mind completely

Chorus:
             B
Twenty wild horses and five hundred men
                E
they couldn't drag me that far down again
            B
give me a Clot 45. to my head
          E
so I can say I'd be better off dead
                  B
Straight as an arrow I'll make a new start
            E
What can I tell you it's straight from the heart

I have a dream and its the same every night
I sleep with you,everything seems to be right
Beyond belief
When I awake and find,that I am stuck in this place
My backs to the wall completely

Chorus:
Twenty wild horses and five hundred men
They couldn't drag me that far down again
Give me a colt 45 to my head
So I can say I'd be better off dead
Straight as an arrow I'll make a new start
I wanna tell you it straight from the heart

F#             B
So what can I say?
E/G#              A
It seems that in here we find
C#m          B
everyone is innocent

All I can do is hope and pray for an end
I've had enough,but that don't change anything
Hand on my heart
I didn't do what they say
Now at the end of the line
I'm loosing my mind completely

Chorus:
Twenty wild horses and five hundred men
They couldn't drag me that far down again
Give me a colt 45 to my head
So I can say I'd be better off dead
Straight as an arrow I'll make a new start
What can I tell you,its straight from the heart

Twenty wild horses and five hundred men
They couldn't drag me that far down again
