Intro:   A – E – D – E – A 

Verse 1:
   A                   D           A
It may not be the same thing you believe
         E            D                  A
But most folks have a sense of right and wrong
    A              D               A
The forces that we feel but cannot see
    E               D                E
The love within our heart it plays a song
   A                   D                  A
He roamed around until they could hear no more
    E          D                 A
The word was a virus through the land
         A                    D               A
From the mountains north down to the southern shore
    E                 D                       E
The hour glass burned through those grains of sand

Chorus:
             A
He learned a long time ago
           D
There’s no winners in their game
    Bm                   E            A
You lie with dogs you’ll wind up with fleas
D                 E
Nine times out of ten 
            A         E       F#m
You know it all turns out the same
D             E       D      E       A     D – E 
Dyin’ on your feet or livin’ on your knees

Verse 2:
       A             D           A
Oh the art of war is always to deceive
     E             D                  A
They sell the very rope from which we hang
    A            D              A
The answer is to turn the other cheek
           E              D                E
While they piss down your neck and call it rain

Chorus:
             A
He learned a long time ago
           D
There’s no winners in their game
    Bm                   E            A
You lie with dogs you’ll wind up with fleas
D                 E
Nine times out of ten 
            A         E       F#m
You know it all turns out the same
D             E       D      E       A          
Dyin’ on your feet or livin’ on your knees

Break:   A – E – D – E – A   /   A – E – D – E – A

Bridge:
           F#m           D               A
There’s no left no right there’s only in between
D               E            A
Below is just reflected from above 
    F#m               D               A
And those who will discover what that means
     D             E               A
Will come to understand the law is love

Chorus:
             A
He learned a long time ago
           D
There’s no winners in their game
    Bm                   E            A
You lie with dogs you’ll wind up with fleas
D                 E
Nine times out of ten 
            A         E       F#m
You know it all turns out the same
D             E       D      E       A           
Dyin’ on your feet or livin’ on your knees
D                 E       A      E      F#m
Nine times out of ten the heroes lot is shame
D             E        D      E       A
Dyin’ on your feet and livin’ on your knees

Break:   D – E – D – E – A
