              Bm     G                 Dmaj7
Professional jealousy can bring down a nation
And personal invasion can ruin a man
Not even his family will understand what's happening
The price that he's paying or even the pain

Professional jealousy started a rumour
And then it extended to be more abuse
What started out as just black propaganda
Was one day seen to be believed as truth

Chorus:
               A                     Bm
They say the truth is stranger than fiction
              G                D
But a lie is more deadly than sin
               A                  Bm
It can make a man very bitter and angry
                             G     A             D
When he thinks that there's someone is going to win

Professional jealousy makes others crazy
They think you've got something that they don't have
What they don't understand is it's not that easy
To cover the miles and be where you are

Chorus:
They say the truth is stranger than fiction
But a lie is more deadly than sin
It can make men bitter, bitter and angry
When they think that someone else is going to win

Professional jealousy makes other people crazy
When they think you've got something that
they don't have
What they don't understand is it's just not easy
To cover it all and stand where you stand

Professional jealousy makes no exception
It can happen to anyone at any time
The only requirement is knowing what's needed
And then delivering what's needed on time

The only requirement is to know what is needed
In doing the best you know how, deliver on time
The only requirement is to know what is needed
Be best at delivering the product on time
