Verse

       A                      Bm7                     E                         A
We are tirelessly talking and rushing and walking and digging the graves of our sins
       A                              Bm7                     E                        A
Oh, we must dig so deep, That there's something for keeps but that's where my story be-gins
          A                       Bm7                         E                      A
I've been drumming my fingers and bumming with singers, Who'd sung with a watch at a wake
       A                               Bm7                          F#m7           E          A
And they blamed rock 'n' roll, for the sleep in their soul and they swore they had nothing to shake

Chorus

E            A       D         F#m7    Cdim  E                A         D       E       A
Oh, Jesus in heaven, What's be-come of me?   Oh, shake it and break it, Set the killing free

Verse

         A                      Bm7                        E                        A
When the money gets short, I am holding the fort, Like I'm smiling with smoke in my eyes
        A                    Bm7                     E                       A
So swim over the road, to my humble abode, With your lips like a sucking sur-prise
          A                   Bm7                      E                     A
If it's a hassle to do, Get a ticket for two and we'll reach for tomorrow to-night
        A                          Bm7                 F#m7        E            A
When we hit font en blue, Then our ticket for two is a pass to the place of the delight

Chorus

E            A       D         F#m7    Cdim  E                A         D       E       A
Oh, Jesus in heaven, What's be-come of me?   Oh, shake it and break it, Set the killing free

       A                       Bm7                     E                      A
Hey, I need the address of the house of caress 'Cos my side of the bargain is bust
         A                       Bm7                      E                        A
It won't come on a plate of fine silver from fate so I'll chase it with wonder and lust
        A                           Bm7                  E                     A
Since I signed for no rest I'll sub-mit to the test of a body marked suffering slim
         A                     Bm7                      F#m7        E           A
And I've torn it apart from my head to my heart and I'm left with a whore and a hymn

Chorus

E            A       D         F#m7    Cdim  E                 A         D       E       A
Oh, Jesus in heaven, What's be-come of me?   Hey, shake it and break it, Set the killing free
