_ _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _ next thing you [F] need is [G] compromise [C] and position. _
_ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ They're not gonna get [F] you there, [G] smile in [C] your face.
_ _ _ _ _ They just keep on [F] neglecting [G] you in that [C] condition. _
_ [F] _ [G] _ _ _ [C] I think it's [F] safe to tell [G] everybody [C] it's crazy. _
