[D] [F#m] [Em] In [C] a silence, [D] he's too [A] loud
[Em] In a steel [C] bar, jail on [D] the other side
[Em] And [C] we've entered [D] a different past
[Em] That we've [C] knew every [D] which way
[A] Down [C#m] in the middle [A]
[E] of the cold [F#] war zone
[C#m] I left [A] my lover [E] in a far off place
[C#] She'll kiss [A] a deer [E] in hammer [F#] [C#m] spotting
Don't mess with my wife, [A] no, don't mess [E] with my [C#m] face
