intro - bass and piano run
 
verse 1
               |F          |C           |G       |F
You've done it all, you've broken every code
               |C           |G                       |      |
And pulled the Rebel to the floor.
                           (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba, etc) 
                  |F       |C              |G    |F
You've spoilt the game, no matter what you say,
         |C            |G     |
For only metal, what a bore.
|F           |C            |F          |C           |G    |
   Blue eyes,   blue eyes, how can you tell so many lies?
(oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh la-la-la, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh la-la-la ooo - aah)
 
chorus
|Dm            |F              |C      |G
   Come up and see me, make me smi-i-i-ile.
|Dm                 |F            |C     |G    |/
   I'll do what you want, running wi-i-i-ild.      2-3-4-1
 
verse 2
                |F        |C            |G      |F
There's nothing left, all gone and run away,
             |C          |G                       |      |
Maybe you'll tarry for a while?
                        (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba, etc) 
            |F      |C             |G       |F
It's just a test, a game for us to play,
       |C                 |G     |
Win or lose, it's hard to smile.
|F           |C            |F          |C               |G    |
   Resist, resist,       it's from yourself you have to hide.
(oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh la-la-la, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh la-la-la  ooo aah)
 
chorus
|Dm            |F              |C      |G
   Come up and see me, make me smi-i-i-ile.
   Come up and see me, make me smi-i-i-ile.
|Dm                 |F            |C     |G    |/
   I'll do what you want, running wi-i-i-ild.    2-3-4  1-2
   I'll do what you want, running wi-i-i-ild.

|F   |Em  |F   |Am  |Em   |    |G   |
|Dm  |F   |C   |G   |Dm   |F   |C   |G   |/  2-3-4-1
 
verse 3
               |F           |C         |G       |F
There ain't no more, you've taken everything
          |C             |G                       |       |
From my belief in Mother Earth.
                        (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba, etc) 
          |F      |C            |G       |F
Can you ignore my faith in everything?
                 |C                     |G     |
'Cos I know what faith is and what it's worth.
|F           |C            |F          |C             |G    |
  Away,     away           and don't say maybe you'll try... to
(oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh la-la-la, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh la-la-la   ooo aah)
