Verse:
      G    Dm   Am   C
Storms are breaking in California
     G      F    C   G
From the East Coast a twister comes
     B7   Em    F   C
She lies waiting for her lover
      G        F   C
A crumpled rag-doll that's cast away
     F    C   G
Then they call her on the phone
    F     C    G
Telling lies that she can see through
      Am   Em     F   C
So they'll live inside their hell tonight
    F  C  Am G     F  C   F C  Am G C
Knowing they were saving their own skins

Verse:
    G   Dm   Am    C
Signing up for high adventure
     G     F  C   G
Young and innocent, so alive
     B7  Em    F      C
Mules and asses held the high ground
     G        F    C
While the lions stood like sitting ducks
     F     C      G
Then they drove them through the fire
    F    C    G
With a cry of "We know better"
      Am   Em     F   C
So they'll live inside their hell tonight
    F  C  Am G     F  C   F C  Am G C
Knowing they were saving their own skins

Verse:
    G   Dm  Am    C
Sailing oceans to a new life
      G     F    C  G
Friends and family are tied as one
     B7  Em     F    C
Captain's table rocks with laughter
    G      F    C
Glasses raised to a job well done
    F    C   G
And the market place is waiting
    F     C    G
For the souls that can't be bought
      Am   Em     F   C
So they'll burn inside their hell tonight
    F  C  Am G  F C   F C  Am G C
Knowing they were shaming mankind

Instrumental:
C G Dm Am C G F C  F C  Am G C

Verse:
    G    Dm  Am      C
Like a dead bird in a green field
     G      F  C  G
Still and peaceful the body lay
    B7   Em    F     C
I don't need to witness something
   G      F    C
To confirm all my deepest fears
   F    C   G
But I climb into my car
   F    C   G
And I stop the help arriving
    Am   Em   F   C
So I'll live inside my hell tonight
    F C  Am G F  C
Knowing I was only gloating
