Intro
Verse 1
Em
Burying your head in book never got you off the hook
C/G
Come on man, take another look
Em
It takes a fair shake for some of us
C/G
To feel shook
Verse 2
Em
Lie flat on your back just in case of attack
C/G
Or maybe pray the guy is just another hack
Em
If not, you might wanna
C/G
Pick up the slack
Chorus
G C
Don’t play in the mud unless you’re used to the crud
G Em
Coating every step of the way
G C
You may not be warned but off and borne
G Asus
To another impossible day
Verse 3
Em
Horse whipped and falling you respond to the calling
C/G
Crying out in silent dismay
Em
But no one cares a lick if or not you did it
C/G
So just stay out of the way
Verse 4
Em
Put your finger in the pie of some other guy
C/G
You’d never give the time of day
Em
If he snaps back you better hope you don’t crack
C/G
‘Cause you’ll probably just fade away
Chorus
G C
Don’t play in the mud unless you’re used to the crud
G Em
Coating every step of the way
G C
You may not be warned but off and borne
G Asus
To another impossible day
Solo (play twice)
Verse 5
Em
There you go again trying to ink a pen
C/G
That never did write a word
Em
Might be better just to yell to try and break the spell
C/G
Then at least you might be heard
Verse 6
Em
Up and down the ladder bursting at the bladder
C/G
Thinking that the fun’s begun
Em
Soon enough you’ll know it was just for show
C/G
And you’ll have to put the whole thing to bed
Chorus (outro)
G C
Don’t play in the mud unless you’re used to the crud
G Em
Coating every step of the way
G C
You may not be warned but off and borne
G Asus
To another impossible day
G C
Don’t play in the mud unless you’re used to the crud
G Em
Coating every step of the way
G C
You may not be warned but off and borne
G Asus
To another impossible day
