[Verse - Full drums - Guitar staccato and muted] I went [A] searching for the [G] truth But in my [Em] innocence I [A] found All the [A] con men and their [G] acrobats Who [Em] stomped me in the [A] ground If I [A] count up their [G] percentages I [Em] know they're getting [A] rich But t [A] hey haven't taken [G] everything Those [Em] paybacks are a [A] bitch (Asus 2 figure)
