Lyrics and Chords
Emin7 A7sus Emin7
It’s a jumbo sized monster, and… It’s eating me up
Emin7
Leaving me breathless and confused, wonderin’
A7sus Emin7
When’s it ever gonna stop?
A
It gave me money and I tried to escape, but
A
Every penny was boomerang shaped
C#min7 D
Got me signed and sealed
C#min7 D
Now I’m, hot on the heels of another crooked deal…
And I’ve got,
E7 E7sus
Friends in high places, I never see their faces
E7 E7sus
They push me around and treat me like a baby
E7 E7sus
I don’t want their popcorn, I don’t want their pity
E7 E7sus
I don’t want to live in Scapegoat City
Emin7 A7sus Emin7
Well it can wrap up a zero in, satin and steel
Emin7 A7sus
And you could never tell the difference between
Emin7
What is and isn’t real
A
It can destroy in a day, what took a lifetime to build
A
For every dream that’s born, there’s a million getting killed
C#min7 D
But I’m learning to love it
C#min7 D C#min7 D
I know it’s illegal, but everybody does it…
And I’ve got,
E7 E7sus
Friends in high places, I never see their faces
E7 E7sus
They push me around and treat me like a baby
E7 E7sus
I don’t want their popcorn, I don’t want their pity
E7 E7sus
I don’t want to live in Scapegoat City
Emin7 Cmaj7 Bmin7
I’ve got to close my eyes or I’ll see what I’m doing
Emin7 Cmaj7 Amin7
Can’t afford to read between the lines
Emin7 Cmaj7 Bmin7
There’s a million lonely lives on the road to ruin
Emin7 Cmaj7 Amin7
And the word that they’re spreading is mine
B
Time is on my side
Emin7
All the plastic people say, “Yeah!”
A7sus Emin7
When they really mean “No.”
Emin7
B-b-beggin’ me to stay, when
A7sus Emin7
They really mean, go
A
You better believe that money makes a man
A
But money’s not the only thing that changes hands
C#min7 D
They’ve got me stripped, revealed
C#min7 D C#min7 D
Now I’m, sweet on the heels of some major dollar bills
And I’ve got,
E7 E7sus
Friends in high places, I never see their faces
E7 E7sus
They push me around and treat me like a baby
E7 E7sus
I don’t want their popcorn, I don’t want their pity
E7 E7sus
I don’t want to live in Scapegoat City
Lyrics
It’s a jumbo sized monster, and… It’s eating me up
Leaving me breathless and confused, wonderin’
When’s it ever gonna stop?
It gave me money and I tried to escape, but
Every penny was boomerang shaped
Got me signed and sealed
Now I’m, hot on the heels of another crooked deal…
And I’ve got,
Friends in high places, I never see their faces
They push me around and treat me like a baby
I don’t want their popcorn, I don’t want their pity
I don’t want to live in Scapegoat City
Well it can wrap up a zero in, satin and steel
And you could never tell the difference between

For every dream that’s born, there’s a million getting killed
